Forth never got the traction or appreciation that it deserved. It's the only REPL language I know of that can fit comfortably within the storage, CPU, and power limitations of an embedded system.
If more EEs had experience with REPL languages, they'd know what they're missing, and things probably would have turned out differently. His use of Scheme was not a surprise.
Thank you for fighting the good fight Remko.
- pjmlp 8y agoAt least on my degree, CS and EE had common Prolog classes.
- jstewartmobile 8y agoOur Prolog class was more like a drive-by math exercise than programming. I don't recall if we actually ever ran anything.
- pjmlp 8y agoFor that we used Tarski's World in introduction to logic classes. Prolog classes were actual programming with SWI Prolog. Additionally there are national competitions between universities in logic programming, with Prolog as the official language.
