There are lots of shorts on lots of languages on YouTube.
But not one on Forth.
So I thought: I'm quite capable of doing that myself. So I did.

Thank you.

Alas, no gaggling geese...For understandable reasons, I thought it was wise not to mention the existence of c.l.f.
'Worst Programming Language Ever' ?Watched that one! Forth is also mentioned as a (when I remember correctly) "horrible language from the 1980-ies".

Watched that one! Forth is also mentioned as a (when I remember correctly) "horrible language from the 1980-ies".I was wrong: "a terrible language from the mist of time, 1950-ies or something".

I presume that you are not the same person asI haven't been religious in 50 odd years, so I doubt it very much ;-)

I was interested in your other videos, but I only managed to viewI added an endscreen, but I'll do the description as well. Thanks for the tip!

What's there is mostly video conferences or presentations which
even for forthers tend towards sleep :) Having to explain something
of forth to an audience who may know nothing about it in two minutes
while keeping it brisk, interesting and positive is what a good
advert aims to do. Hans' tightly packed video seems to have the
right mix of history, notable achievements and differences, humour
and even a dig at forth's critics. The measure of any advert is
whether you'll remember it. We remember 'Starting FORTH' less for
the forth content - rather its quirky presentation.

At least for me, 'Starting Forth's presentation was completely in-character with its content. Lampo's LaTeX introduction uses the same approach.
A good illustration anchors a key concept in one's mind.

My introduction to Forth was a work colleague telling me about a new language he'd discovered. I don't recall the context other than he was quite excited by it. He was across everything microcomputers and his enthusiasm impressed me enough that I bought a cheap implementation. It wasn't love at first sight but a beginning.

Agree. No matter how much I like a subject it's hard to sit through a
a video; give me a live professor any day or just point me to text that
I can read on my own.
and chapter or two of introduction. I don't know how college students
would view such a thing but for professionals 'just the facts, ma'am'
is appreciated.
