Programming a Problem-Oriented-Language (1970)

Chuck Moore is a genius, and if any self-professed hacker has not dug into the language Forth (including creating an implementation of their own, which is a rite of passage to becoming an "intermediate" Forth programmer), then they have a special treat waiting for them. A lovely antidote, both in form and in practice, to the typical layers of shitcake philosophy that ultimately results in Electron apps ruling the world.
