Re: I went down a Forth rabbit hole and found Glenda

Replying to the subject, I'm surprised there's not more association between Forth and Plan 9. Both seem to be based on changing design goals to make the software simple. ;) The biggest difference for me is the Forth world tells you how. (It's a bigger world, so there are more people to write books, I guess.) In Plan 9, we just get heavily-factored C code without explanation. Not knowing why it's factored, we misapply the term "bikeshedding". I knew I should have read Thinking Forth years ago.

Now I'm wondering how much of Plan 9 development time went into factoring for minimalism.
