Ever since encountering OpenFirmware on the old PPC Macs I've been interested in Forth but I've only started playing around with it recently (I actually just put amforth on an ATMega328P this afternoon). It's really pretty interesting to use as it forces me to really program in a different way than usual. Most languages allow me, to put it one way, to break to "rules" of the language (ie: programming imperatively in a functional language) but using Forth really means having to learn to solve problems a new way. In the case of running Forth on an AVR it also has the benefit of being able to program interactively on the actual hardware instead of having to flash and reflash every time I want to change something. Very pleasant.
