"All programming is about breaking complicated tasks down into reasonable-sized chunks." I think Forth forces you to do this.

- bryanrasmussen 2y agoHow does it force it more than any other language? Normally I think every language 'forces' you to break tasks down - except maybe BrainF*ck
- nyc111 2y agoI'm not an expert on Forth. I just play with it because it is different than other languages. I searched a quote by Charles Moore about the topic but the best I could find was this: https://www.ultratechnology.com/moore4th.htm https://www.ultratechnology.com/moore4th.htm > A Forth word should not have more than one or two arguments. > This stack which people have so much trouble manipulating > should never be more than three or four deep.
