Forth Warrior: A Programming Puzzle Game

This would be great if it was for a language that had more popularity. I mean, Forth is great for learning what a stack is or how to program a telescope (look it up), but think how great this could be to help folks learn Pascal or Basic. We could help the next great generation of programmers!

Just kidding. I actually got a real kick out of seeing this again, reminding me of my old ValForth and FigForth days on the Atari.

Is your whole comment just kidding, or are you just kidding about helping the next great generation of programmers?

I'll take a programmer who with a deep understanding of Forth over a programmer who cobbled together a Rails app on Heroko.

Every day of the week.

I'll take a programmer with a deep understanding of anything over a programmer who cobbled together anything.

Side point, unrelated to the article.. If you like Forth, you could do worse than to have a look at Factor.
