Good context on why Forth didn&#x27;t pan out can be found here:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;yosefk.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;my-history-with-forth-stack-machines.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;yosefk.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;my-history-with-forth-stack-machines....</a><p>I adore Forth and feel that it&#x27;s in the small handful of languages &#x2F; approaches to language that will permanently change a developer&#x27;s understanding of the field. Perhaps if GreenArrays had succeeded well enough to make a few more generations of processor the landscape would be very different. Perhaps not.<p>Given today&#x27;s architecture, the impedance mismatch between the stack paradigm and the register architecture costs Forth most of its advantage. Still, if there&#x27;s another language that allows one to write an interactive assembler for a system with 8k of RAM, I&#x27;ve yet to hear of it.<p>The minimum investment in Forth, which I recommend to all thoughtful developers, is reading <i>Programming a Problem Oriented Language</i> by Chuck Moore, Forth&#x27;s inventor.
