Sorry - couldn't resist. Believe it or not, FORTH and LISP share a lot of the best qualities (though FORTH doesn't use lists or garbage collection).

Let it be noted that I've been dying to learn FORTH. I simply haven't had the time to delve into that world yet.

I've been using FORTH almost as long as I've been trying to learn LISP - except FORTH dialects (and differences) are practically inevitible, whereas Common LISP is Common LISP.

You should give an introductory talk about FORTH, perhaps here, but definitely at the LUG. It would go over famously, I suspect.
