No joke, back in like 1985 or so when I was in high school I found a book in the public library that was a tour of various computer languages. Like all of them. PL/I, SNOBOL, Lisp, Smalltalk, the old ones from ancient times. Each had a sample program and a few pages discussing the features of the language. The description for Forth had 'ball of mud' in it. That bottom-up design where you start with a tiny core and keep adding little bits and smoothing them out then adding more over and over. I always thought it was more like a snowball like in making a snowman sort of accumulation. But now... that final step when you have that last written that you give the command and the system removes all the bits that never get referenced from your application, squishes it down, polishes it up and spits out an executable. Forth is very dorodango.
