Ah, the old trope of pretending to give a movement advice so they don't "do a disservice" to their cause, advice which just happens to be about throwing marginalized people under the bus yet again. It's as transparent as

The excellent book Threaded Interpretive Languages recommends the Signetics 2650 and the RCA 1802 for writing FORTH like languages. I was surprised because the latter is slightly obscure and the former I had never even heard of.
