I don't remember a lot about Forth, except this. After programming in (8-bit) assembler for about a year, I tried Forth. Getting the -code done- in -so little- time, I grinned broadly as I played Frisbee in that saved time.
There's no way to save time like that any more; the computer's done -before- you finish typing 'run'. (Well, ok, infinite loops aren't any faster, just get -much closer to infinity. I postulate.)
Anyway, those old mags always bring back that sense of WHOA! (I still have Kilobaud #1 and #2.)
