And you really expect the young kids today to spend the extra effort
learning something like Forth?

 
I don't expect anyone to do anything! They're free to use whatever fits
their workflow and personal tastes best!
 
It's just funny to watch you be so dedicated to dismissing out-of-hand
a thing that nobody was even pressuring you to use, is all.
 

And if I might interject, I am a 24-year old who has not that long ago
started learning the UXN (https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxn.html) system.
While it isn't a bare-metal FORTH, targetting a virtual machine, in
terms of learning about FORTHs, I think it qualifies.
 
And if I don't qualify as a "young kid", well, I have a 13-year-old
brother, who has also started learning the language.
