> it's hard to decipher what your code is doing after you've written it. Not in my experience. I even recycled "throw-away" scripts - thing that were written as "write-only" - a couple of times. I also continuously improve my dialect, so sometimes I break the utilities I've made for work. One of them has been working 24/7 for years (probably longer than your time playing with Forth), during which I have modified it to better fit my evolving needs more than a couple of times.
