For anyone out there with an interest in stack-based languages, I highly recommend the book "Thinking Forth" (http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/ http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/). It is free and "open source".
It is a short read and it attacks some of our dogmas as programmers, such as the high level/low level abstractions. I'm not saying it is right in its claims, but it is a very provoking read and will make you aware of your own dogmas.

- terminalcommand 8y agoThanks for the recommendation, when I was in high school I had followed a different tutorial and even spent a whole summer holiday trying to build a cargo-cult Forth interpreter in JS to convince my friends to try Forth. But then I lost interest. Now that I'm much older I think I will take my shot at reading a more advanced book on Forth.
