Thanks for the recommendation. I had never heard of Forth, except as a buzzword, until I heard a local hacker give a short explanation of Factor, which is largely inspired by Forth:

http://factorcode.org/

I played with the demo a bit. It's very interesting. Even in the first few minutes you can sense the potential power of its super-spartan stack-based syntax, though if you're the kind of person who hates Lisp because it doesn't have the C syntax your head will probably explode at the sight of Factor or Forth.
