       | A different Forth I enjoy to hobby code puzzles in is
       | [Factor](https://factorcode.org/) and is probably an easier place
       | for people to start. Forths are wonderful languages that everyone
       | should have some exposure to, they are like a cross of Lisp and
       | Smalltalk. You should definitely try it at least once.

         | the language.

       | 
       | Retroforth was my favorite forth in linux because it was the most
       | accessible & usable & cross-platform forth that adhered closely
       | to the spirit of Chuck Moore's original (pre-color) forth, rather
       | than the ANSI standard.
