Show them what they are missing.  Do the following task
in Forth.

One text file contains Poe's "Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym";
the other contains Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland".

Extract the words from each file, rejecting words that have
fewer than 6 characters or that contain upper-case letters,
and keeping only words that occur exactly once.

Print the words that are found in both lists
in alphabetical order and in 4 columns.

Ruby:

def get_singleton_words file
  IO.read(file).scan(/\w+/).
  reject{|w| w.size < 6 or w != w.downcase}.
  group_by{|w| w}.select{|w,ary| ary.one?}.
  keys
end

pym = get_singleton_words "Pym.txt"
alice = get_singleton_words "Alice.txt"

words = (pym & alice).sort

per_line = 4; per_column = words.size.fdiv(per_line).ceil
short = per_line * per_column - words.size
(words + [""] * short).each_slice(per_column).to_a.transpose.
each{|ary| puts ary.map{|s| s.ljust 18}.join}

Of course, this isn't fair to those who use Forth.  They don't
do much programming at all; mostly they just twiddle a few
bits.
