Yes, my comment came across a bit harsh, and it’s fine to pick up a few negative karma points. But I keep seeing Forth posts every two weeks where everyone has just built yet another interpreter.

Actually I did a few projects with Forth and I find it very cool:

I like that way of thinking about it - now I want my negative karma points separated into their own bucket even if the final summary is presented out, I think its an interesting signal.

		Dang & Co. doubtless see such things - but I'd bet it'll never be shown to regular users. Too little utility, vs. too tempting for a small minority to game in unhealthy ways.
