There are quite some implementations. I have a very
simple one (a generalisation of DOES>) and are happy with it.
For instance. The problem of eulerproject.net has a couple of
thousand cuboids. Those have 3 start point and 3 sizes.
It is hard if not impossible to make a reasonable program
without structures of some sort, classes, objects, whatever.


Groetjes Albert.

P.S. I'm currently one of 3 Forthers who have solved more
100 of the 229 problems on the euler project.
There is a colorforther, but he has solved 2 problems only.
