[[Concatenative language]] invented by [[Robbert van Dalen]]. Its computational model is based on a purely functional [[Term Rewriting]] engine as opposed to the more conventional stack based model. The ultimate research goal of Enchilada is: 'Information cannot be destroyed'. This is as far reaching in that even (unwritten) [[Term]]s are immutable in Enchilada. To make this feasible, Enchilada is built on [[Persistent Data Structures]], in particular [[Weight Balanced Binary Trees]]. As of 20090705, work on Enchilada has stopped. But the work has not been without a result. A new interesting data structure - [[The Purely Functional Canonical B-Tree]] - has been discovered while experimenting with Enchilada.
