Hi APS!
« on: August 11, 2008, 06:31:03 PM »
By popular demand of one person, I joined here (Hi microbalrog!). grin My name 2swap is just an operation in my favorite programming language: Forth. My signature also shows Forth code. I am also a big fan of Linux.

I live in Germany but I am also interested in American politics. English is not my first language so please excuse my occasionally abysmal grammar and spelling.

So, yeah, *nervous gestures* I hope we'll get along well!

2swap is also my lovely fiancee. Some of you have heard me extol her virtues here before.

I'll get over my embarrassment at having failed to master even Hebrew, even after years of living around it, for the sake of having another chick on APS.  grin

Welcome.

Don't worry too much about the English.  Some of us are barely house trained, let alone literate.

So, why would one use Forth, rather than any other tool?

The programing language makes very quickly sense. It is very easy to test things since it makes writing modular code very easy. Also the code can be very easily read since there are no nested functions ie: foo(bar(1, baz(), 2), quux()).
