If you read "Thinking in Forth" you'll discover that Forth can be more readable than other languages, if you write in the style that is supported by the language. Of course, if your goal is to use the same algorithm as in, for example, Java, your code will look terrible.
- eatonphil 5y agoThanks! I have read that book.
- agumonkey 5y agoHow do you feel about haskell point-free or function oriented programming ? Some times it feels a bit like forth (lots of tiny combinator that can feel obscure). Just asking, I'm no expert neither in Forth nor Haskell.. just curious about your opinion
- eatonphil 5y agoToo far into the academic weeds for me to have any real opinion on it, sorry!
