Now why is that? Why do people like to write yet another system when
they are dealing with Forth, while they like to write libraries when
they are dealing with Python? Maybe it's because the Forth standard
makes it hard to write portable libraries (in order to make it easier
to claim that your system is standard), while Python makes it easier.
