Agreed. I wrote a system in FORTH that monitored equipment at various sites around the USA for MCI. It was used for about 15 year. ('85-'00). Quick trivia question. Why was it named FORTH, not FOURTH? Bob On Thu, Jan 19, 2017 at 1:35 AM, Dave McGuire via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Another possibility for a natural 80s style progression which I would recommend is Forth. Still a great language and was designed to run easily on hardware from that era. Get a copy of fig-Forth and download a free PDF of "Starting Forth" by Leo Brodie from https://www.forth.com/starting-forth/ and you will begin an incredibly rewarding journey.
Forth is a really mind-bending language, but man, it sure is powerful. I love it.
