Some Thoughts on Forth Vis-A-vis Oracle and Java SE

Interesting perspective, and one I'm somewhat sympathetic to, particularly the anti vendorware argument.

But there is a wealth of options in the excluded middle such as non-proprietary languages (Rust, Python, etc.), Hypermedia APIs, community-run conferences, and so on.

For that matter, I'm rather surprised that the Unix CLI approach of "everything is a stream of text" doesn't get a mention.
