I appreciate your help, and it does sound interseting.
However, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that I'd prefer to leverage my
(much more marketable) C skills when writing programs for the RCX. That's
why I'm using NQC right now - I already know much of the syntax intuitively.
If Forth was the predominant language, I'd go for it - but I believe Forth
isn't used nowadays much at all (nowadays the languages to learn are C/C++,
Visual Basic, Assembler, and maybe Cobol or Fortran for legacy stuf)
I don't hear too much about Forth....have I been hiding under a rock or
something? I've heard OF Forth..and that's about it. I know it's a 4th
generation language.
