This is the first chapter of Starting FORTH, which is my favorite technical book. The author of this classic, Leo Brodie, recently joined a recorded zoom session with some FORTHers.

I enjoyed Starting Forth ( https://www.forth.com/starting-forth/ ) and its companion book Thinking Forth ( https://www.forth.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/thinking-fo... ).

They both still offer insights on program design and software development.

I used Forth many years ago (commercial industrial computing) & wish it had blossomed. What firms or industries still use it, and why?
