Can't argue with that. If you have no boss and no deadline, have at it.

Cool. I think you'll find that Forth isn't completely unknown to Mac
users. The Open Firmware used on later PPC Macs had a Forth stack.

Actually, it would be *much* better received by Mac users if it were
linked up to a native interface - that is, one that's a native Mac app,
not a Unix app displayed on an X11 server that happens to be running on
a Mac. A native Aqua interface is non-****table, but ****tability went out
the window when you chose assembler to begin with.
