   Groff is definitely easier to use. For really simple stuff, just the standard macro packages me, mm and ms are absolutely fine. And they compile faster - much faster than pdflatex. The mom package is very good, but a bit more complex. I gav

   In the competition for (real or abstract) resources, individuals will align along whatever differences suit them. If they are all the same race, they might align along religious differences. If they are all the same race and religion, then

    The last time I had a serious look at GForth, it lacked libraries that I needed for my own development needs at the time: http-client, sqlite/postgres, xml/json, gui etc. It only seemed to cater just to embedded folks. Pity, I act

    I always wanted to try Forth, but GForth, the only accessible Forth, looks a bit unloved. But this thing looks rather good. Not open source, but for what it does, $199/year isn't bad. Edit: $199/year for the commercial versio
