Of all those what is forth articles I've read, this has been my favourite read. Forth is an interesting language, but as a web dev, I've never realised its potential to be a useable language. However, I recently got a RP Pico, and was looking for a language to control it. Browsing the available ones, I saw a demo of a forth and the way it was used kind of blew my mind as it kind of connected the understanding of the machine architecture with the language directly. It kind of felt like I was one with the machine even though I was just turning an led on and off. Since then, I haven't done anything with the board, but I want to get into simple EV making and I feel forth is the domain language for this kind of endeavour.
