- Most of the companies I deal with who are forth houses would not change
- to ANS Forth.... simply because a new implementation takes lots of money
- and time especially if you have to port it to several flavours of hardware.
-
- Is there a better way to promote the language without pushing new standards?
-
- This is not to belittle the work of Jack or any of the standard who have
- worked hard at the standard... It will be a milestone and a great reference
- for how "other people" are doing it.... but will it be self porting, no...
