Forth Future

Added 31 Jul 2008

We are now in the cambric explosion of language evolution. Lots and lots of programming languages, nice and ugly, are created out of the dust. Many are short-lived, even the important ones ride on the waves of fashion. We have languages with hard shells, without shells, mobile and immobile. There's one little language with a backbone, but without much flesh, that's Forth. If it will survive, and render flesh and shells when necessary, it will take over the world. It might be swallowed before that, but it has survived long enough to make this unlikely.
