Sigh. With "experts" like this it is no wonder Forth gets a bad rap.

Maybe, but why don't some of the "experts" weigh in appropriately. Give me a reason to think in Forth. Show me how a real Forth programmer should do tasks and what its good for.

Every time I look at Forth, nobody shows me "what it can do for me."

I'm starting to become a believer in the "show me Tetris" test. It hits a whole bunch of those "nasty" things like I/O, graphics, asynchronous response, and handling multiple things going on at the same time that language apologists like to gloss over.
