You should care about colorForth! - Brad Nelson
"Since at least 1998, each Forth Day, Chuck Moore has updated us on his wonderful explorations with colorForth. While it may not be obvious, colorForth is fundamentally simpler and more elegant than conventional Forth. I've gathered slides and notes capturing the evolution of Chuck's thinking around colorForth and will attempt to recount how it has evolved over the decades. I'll explain why colorForth is important and speculate why it's struggled to gain wide adoption within the Forth community."
