'''Trith''' is an experimental [http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Concatenative%20language concatenative] programming language founded on the unholy trinity of [[Forth]], [[Lisp]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework RDF] triples.
'''Trith''' is an experimental stack-based, [http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Concatenative%20language concatenative] programming language by [[User:Arto Bendiken|Arto Bendiken]]. It is dynamically typed and has a homoiconic program representation. The implementation currently consists of a virtual machine, interpreter, and compiler toolchain written in Ruby and an in-the-works runtime targeting the [[JVM]].

Trith programs are simply nested lists of operators and operands, with the operators identified by URIs, meaning that Trith code can be straightforwardly represented externally either as S-expressions or as [http://linkeddata.org/ Linked Data] in the form of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework RDF] triples.

Trith is inspired and influenced by the author's experience with [[Forth]], [[Lisp]] and [[Scheme]] in general, and the concatenative languages [[Joy]], [[XY]], [[Factor]] and [[Cat]] in particular.
