It reads especially weirdly to anyone who remembers that BASIC
was traditionally interpreted, too. What crazy times we live in.
And anyone who wants to claim VB superior to FORTH has to
earn the right by transferring first a FORTH-made binary, then
a VB-made binary, from one computer to another via floppy
disks.

That's because writing in FORTH is like spending the day
solving brain-teasers.
Not that that's a bad thing; I figure programmers would get
paid a lot more for much higher quality work if they were required
to be in extreme brain-on mode 24/7. But at least we have C++,
huh?
