I would beg to differ that that is the “goal” of forth, but I do think that there is truth to the statement in terms of niches best served when used by most programmers.

Writing in forth is a process of creating a domain specific language to solve the problem at hand, so it tends to get quite claustrophobic as you close in on the goal.



Yeah I tried to clarify. I am not an authority on their literal goal. I was trying to describe the result when you look at the systems overall in terms of implementation and use; what they make easy.
