I haven't written any Forth in nearly 15 years, but before I started
hacking Python I don't think I had as much fun with any other language
(well, Lisp ironically comes close as does Objective-C). I worked
with some great Forth hackers at the time, and it was truly amazing
what could be accomplished with what today would be a laughingly tiny
memory footprint.
