Aside from talking about it, which is what this newsgroup is and should be about, there are people using Forth or Elizabeth and Stephen probably couldn't afford their internet connections and websites. Without any additional context from your quote, I don't see Forth as a solution looking for a problem. There are many niche tools and domain specific languages that are not popular or widely known, yet they serve a purpose and are in active use. Really, the statement you quoted is troubling not from a Forth point of view, but consider all the graphical crap and web programming that probably make up 99% of all code written today...if that junk isn't a solution looking for a problem I don't know what is. We got business done with text interfaces for many years and I don't see any benefit except for teenagers and H1Bs in reducing programming to flash webpages. Doesn't anybody write code that actually *does* something anymore? > > Marketing generates initial interest. For it to be sustainable there > must be ongoing need. How many programming languages does > the world need to sustain in any given era? Not that many. In theory that seems reasonable. In practice there seems to be no limit to the number of programming languages in use and no end in sight when it comes to creating new ones.
