so i'm sitting here thinking about #forth and what would be the best #forth to start with being a general programmer with not much low level insights or at least as much as i want. How would i start with lets say parsing a file or writing logs or doing tools for everyday use. Lets say replacing bash scripts with some #forth goodness. Any cool material on that?

In the Spring of 2025, I taught a course about interactive programming environments to a small group of students. For various reasons, I have to take down the official web page for that site, which includes slides that may be of interest to people who care about these things. I have therefore chosen to publish those slides on Lost Bits under a Creative Commons License.

I would apologize for posting what at first appears to be another "tech toot"...but since I churned out almost 40 drawings for this talk on the Forth programming language, I don't feel bad about it at all. Here's the slides:

I happen to know some of you enjoy space ships, calculators, and old computers as much as I do.
