- marvy 10y agoLest someone thinks you're exaggerating: http://archive.is/YLh6I http://archive.is/YLh6I Quote: Forth does it differently. There is no syntax, no redundancy, no typing. There are no errors that can be detected. Forth uses postfix, there are no parentheses. No indentation. Comments are deferred to the documentation. No hooks, no compatibility. Words are never hyphenated. There's no hierarchy. No files. No operating system.
- AstralStorm 10y agoLess useful than assembly which at least allows comments. The only difference is portability, which C does much better already. Forth shoves down your throat its ancient stack model and lack of higher order types.
- marvy 10y agoForth allows comments. The quote is just saying "why bother using them?"
