I kind of doubt it.

I'm all for gavino learning Forth and encourage him to continue.  But as we've seen in his messages, his work is likely centered on system administration and operations.  Forth is a great language... for embedded systems.  Not so much for the kind of work he does.

He will invariably be told by someone that Forth would be an awesome spectacular language for system administration and operations work... once he builds up a library of routines to do what he wants.  It's underwear gnome economics applied to programming languages:

1, Learn Forth.
3. Use as system administration and operations language.
