HMMM!!! Forth dying...interesting. I do see that it is being adopted in
Openfirmware (the code that boots all the cards/motherboards made by
Apple, Sun, Intel, etc...I do see that it is still being used in many an
ATM. I do see that it is to be put forward as a replacement for FORTRAN
in the scientific community (try: www.taygeta.com) I do see that someone
(try: www.mistybeach.com) is actually quite a way into a FORTH emulator
in JAVA. I see many many thing with FORTH, pity mostr people don't even
notice it's there.
