Curious, I just got an LLM to write a small web server in Forth.

Phew - that is a terse language. I have heard it compared to assembly language and yeah I see that.

I'm very curious to know how it got on with that. I've had Claude Code write me a Forth for a custom CPU and then write applications on top of that. It get's there but unsurprisingly it's nowhere near as fluent in it as Python.

Assembly language is often more readable, weirdly
