Forth isn't something you "mess around" with. You've really gotta rewire your brain.
@jessesheidlower @clive “One does not mess around with Forth. Forth messes around with you!” But I’m sure you’ll love it, Clive. I learnt it back in the nineties. Fun thing: Postscript is very, very similar to Forth.
If you really want to go down a rabbit hole: there’s a short series on Medium from someone who built a Forth interpreter from scratch.
oh damn, I will check that out!! thank you
