Question

An example of a logical debate. Muthu @ me: "I disagree

with you that Forth is fit for modern day programming and software engineering."
Me: "oh? Why do you think that?"
Muthu: "It's compiler is designed explicitly to work effectively on single core hardware. In this current day and age, we have multithreading and multiple cores a processor can use. Forth's compiler simply can't be modified in an easy way to allow for this. It also is not type safe, and should only be used for prototyping and for rapid development in embedded programming. "
Me: "While that is correct, Forth does teach a programmer to write memory efficient programs and teaches regional memory management and such. "
