I vaguely recall a stirring.. about that time, of the QX-10 perhaps being an actually New and Pregnant approach and far beyond
pip b:=a:*.* /V yada and yassa boss.
Alas I never encountered a useable discussion of Forth, QX-10 and the implications (even when I asked). This even though (even I) had imagined Forth to be something actually er seminal. But what did I know..
Perhaps if I hadn't come so recently from PDP-8 octal and the absurdity of needing to use a CDC 6600 (!) to compile via punch cards, a few thousand or even hundred bytes on huge reels of tape -- I might have bitten, or at least become infected..
{whew}
Thanks. Nothing to see here.
