Absolutely. I've played with Forth many times, and enjoyed it. But when it comes to building systems that people pay to develop & maintain, I haven't found any use cases recently. No doubt there are some, but I suspect they're much less justifiable today.
- ddingus 7y agoPutting pay under emphasis does not add any value to your earlier comment. It's a big world out there. Guess I shall reply with same.
- ddingus 7y agoLet me expand a bit. Was tired when I wrote the snarky comment. In a typical corporate environment, yes. Your thoughts ring true. It is a big world outside that scene, and many playing there can benefit from Forth. That is the utility. People who grok Forth flat out solve hard problems like no other. Tool for that toolbox, essentially.
