- This is the last thing we need. It would be like an ugly bulldog
- contest. How can you judge something when the potential winners outnumber
- the potential loosers by factors of 100 or more?
- The obfuscated C contest is very popular, but Forth should
- do things in the opposite way that C does to gain efficiency. There
- should be a Forth beauty contest. I could be a judge in such a
- contest. If I read the comments and understand the program,
- the author deserves a prize.
