- Forth got some mention in the letters column of the November 1992 issue
- of Manufacturing systems (pp7-8). Letter by George Shaw (do we know him?
- ;-)) response from Dick Morley of Flavors Technology:
- "...These three languages-Paracell, Common LISP, and Forth - share some
- very important traits: they are all interactive, incrementally compiled
- languages. I view Forth as the chain saw of the bunch: don't hand it to
- a novice without a lot of supervision, but if you need speed and
- compactness and low-level manipulation of the machine, there's no finer
- substitute..."
