Actually, the prospect of maybe, randomly getting to the front page of HN with some small interesting program is a nice motivator for small side projects. Overall it's probably a good thing introducing people to new concepts and ideas along the way (in this case Forth, post-fix notation and stack-based evaluation strategies).
