The power of FORTH is that creating a variation tailored to your specific problem is almost effortless.
In most languages, building a compiler or interpreter is a major project. With FORTH, if you’re the only user, you can have something working in minutes.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve thrown together a simple stack-based interpreter. Whenever I need to encode non-trivial behavior in an app, I know I can spin up a quick FORTH and get it done.
