I think C benefitted from having a standard, and Ada and Cobol would
have been diminished enormously without standards.  Lisp on the other
hand may have been damaged by standardization (Common Lisp).  Forth may
be more spiritually aligned with Lisp than it is with C or Cobol.  So
it's not so clear to me that the ANS opponents aren't onto something.
Retroforth (retroforth.org) despite its name, looks relatively clean
and modern compared to ANS Forth.
