As a kid I went from basic to assembly. When I was shown Forth by my dad's friend I was totally caught up in Forth on my C64. I later tried Pascal which is also great but it wasn't close to forth in my mind. It was awesome Except you had to pay for the language and I am guessing that is why it died. Currently my preferred language is Racket because it is so fun and practical, reminds me of the earlier days of Python but much more thought out. You write you code (which is fun) and you have an executable all within one setting.
