I was a big fan of Postscript and Forth. I loved Forth for the way it made you think about dividing up a program. It felt so natural to build a dictionary of words in pursuit of defining a higher level solution. I don't get the people who think its a write-only language. I came upon one of my old programs a decade after I first wrote it. Its was really easy to understand even now. Stack notation for comments with a bit of explanation are some fine documentation.
Postscript was a better Forth IMHO. I loved creating Postscript files for reports. My Turbo C, foxbase, and a Postscript printer were my main tools at my first job.
