In my opinion this would be best applied to everyone not just the under 18s. That would go a long way to taking some of the addictive behaviours out of social media. Probably not a popular opinion though, either with the users, or with the

That is a masterpiece of Forth programming! I particularly enjoyed this section from the template renderer which made me think... Return stack manipulation - that's playing with fire. And also - wow Forth is not much higher level than

Reading this book (in 1984 or so) was one of the formative moments for me. Especially the idea that as software developers we should strive for the simplest most elegant solution and we could iterate our designs to get there. The cartoons a
