ratfactor reviewed Thinking FORTH by Leo Brodie
Review of 'Thinking FORTH' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The high praise for this book was well-earned. It just goes to show that the problems we've been dealing with since the dawn of programming have remained, largely, the same. While this is definitely a Forth-oriented book (and rooted in its time), the philosophy of simplicity and the encouragement to turn a problem on its head until it can be expressed simply is utterly timeless. The interviews were great and the examples were well chosen. In the year 2022, we still don't have the answers to a lot of these questions. Just opinions and more questions.
