Chef

Chef is a stack-based language where programs look like cooking recipes. Chef was designed by David Morgan-Mar in 2002.

Design principles

According to the Chef Home Page, the design principles for Chef are:

• Program recipes should not only generate valid output, but be easy to prepare and delicious.
• Recipes may appeal to cooks with different budgets.
• Recipes will be metric, but may use traditional cooking measures such as cups and tablespoons.
