Interesting in that Forth still has a name and reputation with which folks
want to be associated.

Whether the reputation is deserved is another matter.  A reason Moore gives
for leaving Forth Inc was 'Forth started simple, gradually accreting layers
of complexity and that became the culture'.  If there's a gene for simplicity
it hasn't passed down the generations.  We admire the Diogenes of the world.
Endlessly listen to their admonishments.  But God forbid actually living that.
