- capableweb 7y agoThanks, now corrected.
- OldGuyInTheClub 7y agoThanks for the references. I've heard very good things about Forth but didn't know about Bell. I don't have any pressing problems for these (or any other language) to solve but the conceptual differences are intriguing. I think that one has to decompose problems very differently with Lisp and Forth. It will not be as straightforward as learning a standard library and figuring out the calls. Do people use these languages for scientific and technical computing the way one might use Matlab or Mathematica?
