I think that it can be argued that given the extensible nature of forth 
that it is better to learn to craft simple structures like these in 
order to help with learning how to use these principles in more 
complicated and useful structures.

It seems like many prefer to use a language (or languages) which have 
already done the work of providing lower level features for any given 
application.  While this seems like a good idea, it requires learning 
the new language most appropriate for every new application.  Notice 
that Mark mentioned several languages and WJ is often giving examples in 
several.

Is that really any better or easier than learning a single language 
where you can create all of these advantages at the same time?
