A comment on Forth: The programming language that writes itself. Parent comment

"Have you tried collaborating with Forth?"

No, I never did more than very simple experiments with Forth (which is why I started my comment with "what I heard").

"because Forth is very difficult to write in a clear way"

But that pretty much means, that the average programmer will have problems with collaborating.

Not for simple collaboration or modification, which is most of what you want to do. But yes any serious development is difficult in Forth, period.
