Circa 1983 I got hold of the paper FIG-Forth via snail mail. (Modems? none in my house those days.) I got a version going on my housemate's Apple ][+, which wasn't too hard as I'd learned 6502 assembly/machine language, and I understood the Apple's peripherals reasonably well. I hacked together a boot disk which booted and presented the Forth REPL. One of my first projects was a text editor. I probably still love Forth, and later on I sort of used the knowledge to learn PostScript. I went on to do a lot of work in PostScript and I definitely love that. And miss them both.
