Some years ago, I discovered the language FORTH (see
www.forth.org ) and was fascinated by its simple and clever design. The RPN-like working with a stack, the fact that everything - editor, compiler, debugger - is all the same, and that there are just WORDS,
nothing else sounded great to me. I haven't used it much yet, just for writing small samples, nothing big. Then, last week I compiled pForth for OS X as an exercise, and as it worked, I was back "forth-ing". But before I start something bigger with it (what about writing a
really fast, modern OSX-optimized Forth?? -- that would be so great!) I wanted to ask if I am the only one who uses it, because nobody I know even knows it. I wouldn't want to do spend any time for something that doesn't exist.
