This is an interesting article, and I hope the authors ignore the snarky comments here and aren't discouraged from pursuing their dark magic rituals.

That said, personally I think that Forth is as philosophically pure as I'm willing to gaze up the ladder of programming purity. :P

Writer of this article: Thank you! I don't mind the snakry comments. In fact, I welcome them as I think they are pretty funny themselves. We'll most certainly be working on more dark magic in the future.

It reminded me of that as well. Very clever and very alien.

I saw it as ... akin to poetry, almost?

Then again I was once a pure math grad, so "beautiful, fascinating, albeit completely practically useless" is something I mean as a compliment.

I need to read up on Stem and then come back and read this post of yours again to better appreciate it, I suspect. But that sounds like fun.

you're supposed to touch a few nerves. that means you're showing something different to the comfort of most. something really different. two most common reactions to this is irritation and laughter.

not much is novel nowadays. great job!
