Safari online has a lengthy interview with him that is an excerpt from a book with lots of interviews on programming Titans. I read the one from Moore every year and I don't even write Forth. It is simply that good and thought provoking.

- 4thaccount 8y agoHaha, yes that is a good way to explain it. Moore isn't necessarily wrong, but I don't think he is 100% correct either. Not everybody is a software engineer who can spend all day writing code. There are a lot of folks who write shell scripts and the like who need to do talk to computers without getting into machine code and Forth. Does a lawyer need to know the machine? Sounds inefficient use of time.
