What did I say here a while back that had a bunch of you here arguing that I was wrong? (Exactly that.) The other interesting quote is in regards to Perl, but is one that those who work on standardizing Forth should take to heart: (after 5:22) "And, because, uh, we, uh, have intentionally been, uh, redesigning it lately to leapfrog, uh, all the other languages, uh, for, for ... the last number of years, we've been, uh, redesigning it to take out all the warts we've noticed over time. We figured it was just our one chance to, um, break backwards compatibility, break the things that need breaking. Keep all the things that make Perl, Perl." Rod Pemberton
