Since everyone is coding Lisp and Erlang now, does that mean that we will see Forth coders in 2010?

Question

I'm think I see more and more coders looking into Erlang and Lisp. Since I learned
it in exactly the same order, and now, I'm looking into Forth, does it mean that Forth is the next language on everyone's TODO list?

What is your next language?

Answer 1

Forth is not next on my list. I am happy with Perl, Common Lisp, and Haskell for the time being.

Answer 2

Yeah I got the memo you were learning that next. I think everyone agrees copying you is the cool thing to do so you're probably right.

Answer 3

no -matt o'gorman (damn ten char limit)

Answer 4

: SOP MEMORY TIGHT? IF FORTH ELSE LISP THEN USE ;

Answer 5

If you want something Forth-like, you would much better be served by looking at the Factor programming language. It is concatenative, like Forth, and it also has a lot of modern properties and an efficient implementation that targets multiple platforms.
