Forth is probably the greenest language - helping to reduce the heat!

Today I got an Editor's Note from "Dr. Dobb's Update": Dealing With All Our Stuff 

There it says: 
"In 1961, Rolf Landauer theorized that there was a fundamental connection between the processing of information and the production of heat. Just last year, researchers at the University of Augsburg in Germany appear to have proven Landauer's theory. To reset a single bit, they showed, generates a minimum amount of heat; and the point is that this is a fundamental limit set not by the design of devices, but by the nature of information itself. Heat dissipation in computer chips is not merely a matter of mechanics, but is inherent in the processing of information."

Quintessence: Forth is a tool against global warming, thanks to minimizing! 
Forth is the programming language which stripped off all unnecessary attachment 
and distraction leaving pure logic to work with - and so needs the least energy to run.
