To others it's a language with many built in features to allow quicker writing and testing of software. It take a few features from Forth and mixes them with I vaguely remember Joy. It's interactive stack based, and can be expanded with new words like Forth I would not worry too much about it, if it helps you solve problems then use it. Another capable language is 8th, it's also an expanded Forth like language with multi-OS capability. -- Cecil - k5nwa
