Hmm. Are you perhaps thinking of Forth here? :) More interestingly (and quite off-topic, but trips down memory lane are fun), are there any other languages you're referring to?

are there any other languages you're referring to?Various dialects of BASIC. Don't laugh. It used to be a very common way of implementing real microcomputer and minicomputer apps (which typically were much simpler in those days than now, so the inherent deficiencies in the language design did not matter so much).
