- your posting is so massive i fear we will weary the backbone
- servers if we go on like this!
-
- let me apologize for scolding you. you sounded so negative,
- like you were saying, "Forth really has problems, and this ANS Standard
- is *really* going to *** it up."
-
- secondly, you say that standards don't matter in embedded
- control. in my practice, this is utterly false. 83-Standard is
- currently the most maintainable (i.e., fire your programmer and hire
- one a year later) dialect of Forth.
-
- taste and see for yourself how sweet it is. program in
- dpANS Forth and see how neat it is!
