What a cool thing and this thread also appears to be full of gems. I'm on a Lisp journey for the next little while, but I'll eventually get to Forth. Filing all

  I would recommend going the other way as it will probably be easier to appreciate both that way, just from my own experience both learning and writing interpreters for both. Lisp is sort of the next step after Forth if you ask me, adding slightly more syntax to get better abstractions.

    I'm inclined to agree with you, just chiming in to say that historically, Chuck Moore was a student of John McCarthy, so Forth was one of many 'next steps' after Lisp. Which is a very old language.

      Didn't know, but that makes sense. Forwards in time, backwards in abstraction level. Thanks.
