No sooner back than I start thinking about programming. So many interesting
choices, @LISP (Interlisp), @MACLISP, C, .... I remember the possibility of
using @FORTH motivated me to learn the language.
I also remember being a little disappointed during one my earlier tours of
TWENEX.ORG when I realized that most of the interesting programs here were done
in assembly language. Why disappointed? I guess because I couldn't find any
tutorials or much documentation of any kind on either @MACRO or @MIDAS, and
then whatever work I did couldn't be used on any other systems. ... Though I
guess that's nearly true of the old Lisp systems, too.
So C or Forth, after all? Still, it's good fun picking at the old bones and
making them dance.
