So you, chairman of the Dutch FIG, selected some yuppy's miserable excuse of
a programming language to write a down-to-the-metal environment for the
flagship of modern Forth, the GA144, giving off unmistakable signals that
Forth is unportable, can not cope with the 'obviously' necessary 
object-oriented programming style such a project needs, and that the equally 
'necessary' GUI interface is alien to current Forth systems.

In doing so you mention the 50 million Forth systems you have examined and 
rejected before you selected some arbitrary language experiment and 
immediately solved all the problems of a life-long struggle.

Ah yes, without checking the code, you know. We had people like that in here 
before :-)

But you aren't sure, because you had no idea what to do with arrayFactor 
once it was finished and have only written a few trivialities in it?

Much better than that single 64x16 screen that those 50 million 
Forths offered? Did you write any Forth programs in the past 20 years? 

Indeed -- at long last a CLF post that succeeds to badly ruffle my 
feathers.
