TrueNorth is an interesting looking architecture. The programming of this
synaptic, non von Neumann architecture requires something quite new
accoriding to the blurb;

<quote>
As a result, to harness TrueNorth, we have designed an end-to-end
ecosystem complete with a new simulator, a new programming language, an
integrated programming environment, new libraries, new (and old)
algorithms as well as applications, and a new teaching curriculum
(affectionately called, “SyNAPSE University”). </quote>

I wonder if there's a Forth-like language that might work here?

<quote>Philosophically, the corelet programming paradigm has affinity
with Gottlob Frege’s Principle of Compositionality: "The meaning of a
complex expression is a function of the meanings of its constituents and
the way they are combined."
