As Clutch said, "All the best locations are located on the margins". It's a shame that the term "Red Pill" has been co-opted by the right-wing crazies like QAnon, because it tarnishes what would otherwise be an excellent term. Forth, located on the margins between assembly language and high-level languages, is the Red Pill of compilers. You go from a kilobyte or so of assembly to a fully-working operating system, mostly written in Forth. You've jumped the gap from a system that doesn't even boot to something you can type commands into and get expected results, and write useful code, and do real work on. It fits onto a couple of tracks worth of a floppy disk, and - more importantly - it all fits into your brain in one go. So, do you take Forth, stay in low-level land, and see how deep the rabbit-hole goes?
