Played a little with Forth back at the time. Even wrote a simple interpreter. Thought it was a great language.

However I quickly realised why it was callled a WOL (write-only language - was a pun on RAM / ROM acronyms), as it was hard to understand my own code sometimes only days later.

Never looked back. Actually i did look back, at the beauty of the language, but never been tempted to actually use it.



Thinking Forth discusses how to name words so you will understand them later.
