 I am reminded by this of the rants about Perl being only fit for
scripting and obfuscated hackery, whereas in fact it can be used to write
well structured, intentional and highly readable code. I've not used Forth
enough to know for sure but I would be surprised if the same weren't true
for Forth. There are very few languages that force you to write code that's
hard to read.
