Thanks for the link, I am in the process of reading some of the docs.
One thing I noticed is that forth is written in forth. This is also true of
Smalltalk ( Only
five reserved words, the rest of the language is written using them )
and is the mark of a good well thought out language.
I can't wait to get my first hello world app going. Every time I program in
a new language
I learn things that help me in all of the other languages I know.
Thanks again,
