> I believe in objective right and wrong. It applies to computer code. There is a single right way to balance all the conflicting demands. There is a solution to the puzzle. The challenge is to find it.
This, I think, is important to understand before you say anything about how you'd have done things differently. Taken to a limit, it implies Forth is a very specialized kind of language, for solitary programmers working on embedded systems; if nothing else, it forecloses on pair programming and other team development techniques unless every member of the team but one is a mere typist, or unless all members of the team are so sympat that there's no possibility of disagreement. Otherwise, intractable arguments are inevitable, because if it isn't Right, it's Wrong.
