Currently I'm learning Forth and I really like that language! It's a brain twist and that's reason enough to have a look at :-)

I've never done anything serious in Forth, but I was first exposed to it in the late 80s, and keep coming back to it.

Over the past couple of years I've written, and thrown away, several implementations of Forth in C, C++, and Perl. I've even had it running, embedded, on ESP8266 devices.

It continues to be something I enjoy toying with, but equally something I can't find a perfect use for.

Give it a try in Racket. Racket's macros is a dream to create another language in.

Forth is one of the first things I install on a new machine, I love tinkering with it and it seems to me to be the "right" way to do computing... but I have yet to write a useful program in it...
