Chuck is an absolutely amazing guy. Read up on his 'homebrew' cad system to lay out chips, it is quite a lesson in how strongly a user interface can influence a process.

TILs (threaded-interpreted-languages) have a very natural aspect to them, almost as if that is how you are supposed to develop software.

In spite of that, actually doing it is pretty hard, one of the reasons why forth never took off as a mainstream language. Still, in embedded control it is fairly common, mostly because it is one of the easiest to bootstrap high level languages.
