Over the past six years, I can't even tell you how many Forth people posting here, and on other newsgroups I read also, constantly tout how good Forth is. But, all I see, without intending to incite flames, is a very weak language, as compared to many others, most notably C. Yet, none of these promoters of Forth ever see it's weakness, or perhaps are just unwilling to openly admit them. There are many areas of weakness in C, and I've discussed them with many people, in many different groups. You, without realizing it - perhaps, summarized, in one concise sentence, one of the many glaring defects of Forth: correctly implementing Forth data structures. I found it funny that you would attempt to learn a language without also learning how to implement data structures at the same time. The two go hand in hand. Without data structures, a language is just a bunch of do-nothing loops and if's. You basically said you should learn Forth without learning a critical component of it! Now, having read many of your posts, I took your own apparent revulsion to implementing data structures in Forth to be a direct response of you developing them for your novice and slide rule Forth packages. Am I mistaken? Rod Pemberton
