But he illustrated something else about the Forth way of working. When you try ideas out immediately, you discover things you wouldn't have thought of if you had written the whole program and then worked through debugging and integration.
Another point he made is about crusaders (my word), people who see something wrong with the status quo and make it their business to change it based on principle. Chuck wasn't the crusader type (maybe he didn't look good in spandex). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
