1. Well, being a "scripting kiddie" is not obligatory permanent
   state. One day you are SK next day you are a hacker. :)

2. I believe, that possibility to use a language for scripting is a
   virtue.

3. I understand that you have reasons to claim that using Forth is much
   more productive over using C. But looking at Arduino example for
   blinking LED (http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink) and at your's
   I2C-4SW-4LED LED-Test.txt doesn't seem to approve your claims.
