Ok, that caught my eye.. Tachyon just got moved up my list a bit.
I theory here is that the win is spending less time talking/chatting/arguing about which language to use and try them all!
My list is still so long that I'll never get it completed before P2 arrives.
YES ! ! !
When one actually feels productive, the language is likely a good fit.
In Forth, I actually use a terminal interactively.
I actually have a Dumb terminal for direct connect to my Forth Propellers.
I actually have an RS422 interface that allows me to stretch a CAT5 cable of hundreds of feet to the Propeller
And I actually have a tiny Wifi mini-router that allows me to wirelessly reach my Propeller that is hundreds of feet away.
So I can press Propeller boards into actual uses and deploy them. If the program isn't perfect, I can later either link up wirelessly or plug in remotely to improve the program or to monitor trouble.
I can start with a minimal configuration and expand as successes accumulate.
Later I can write an application in C built upon what I have learned. But the Forth seems to get me going and keeps me going.
