The question I have is, Is there an Apple Market for such a language. I have heard (way back in BYTE magazine) about it and it was just briefly talked about. I just wonder what applications can be best written in Forth? Is it better than PASCAL in the sense of teaching beginners? Is it structured? Is it commonly used in the REAL world? Many questions from a simple mind!
