Term rewriting is woefully overlooked, maybe because the paradigm is rather open-ended. Questions about fixed or variable arity, what rules to apply in what order, what kinds of pattern matching to support, can make the language very limited or intractably inefficient depending on the answer.

I like that Modal just rolls with Peano arithmetic rather than awkwardly bolting on numerics. It's impractical, but it doesn't have to be practical - this is an exploration of a concept
