I tried it, and it felt more like a fantasy computer game, like TIS-100 or something, rather than a real language. It felt neither easy to write nor read, and I'm not sure what problem it solves with "software" in general that other languages don't. Ruby is a great language for sure, and actually it has some of the DSL capabilities of Forth
- fouc 5y agoYeah that's one of the most intriguing parts of Forth I thought, the everything-is-a-DSL, the metaprogramming, the language-is-a-bytecode-VM, etc. I feel lisp is very similar, an inverted sort of forth, I've never tried lisp but it seems to be a much easier language to work with than forth.
