A good rule. I just know I'm going to need fast so I am
planning ahead. Somehow I'm usually at the bleeding
edge of trying to squeeze everything possible out of
limited hardware.
I originally learned my Forth on a 68000 (Mac Forth on
the original 128k Mac.) I was already an experienced 68k
programmer at the time so when I had to drop into assembler
it wasn't such a bit problem. Of course I did make it work
first. And less than 10% of the words ended up in assembler.
