I like Forth a lot. But I've never quite been able to cross the boundary to
being good at it. And I think this is one of the things that blocks me.
I've programmed in a lot of other languages, for a long time, and the habits
of how you think about data can be very binding. I handle Forth data
manipulation better when I use my assembler mind set, which is more stack
oriented, than my C/Basic/Pascal/what-have-you mind set. But that doesn't
help much, and probably even hurts, when dealing with Forth in general.
