Which is truly a shame; it's more because of commercial
and market pressures, and nothing to do with true
throughput or technical merit.

Let's see if Python can be ported to Forth, like it was
to Java. If it can, *then* python'll run at hardware speed,
don't you think?

Anyhow, as I said, it's a shame that Forth has been lambasted
so much that it's not really possible to find much info
and code on the net. It's actually a quite nice tool.
