FORTH 10% of VB!! ROTHLMAO!!!! Obviously whoever wrote that doesn't have a
clue when it comes to FORTH. I have old FORTH code I wrote years ago and
even running interpreted (and yes FORTH can be compiled) it is faster than
anything the brain-dead Micky$loth crowd could ever dream of writting in
VB. Add to the fact that your average FORTH programmer has a much higher
skill set than your typical VB programmer and is capable of writting fast,
tight code (when have you ever heard fast, tight code used to describe a
VB program?)
<sigh> why am I not surprised to see yet another "journalist"
clue-impaired.
