As an outsider to #Forth I wonder if the "write the application in Forth" mentality is not just due to its embedded-class hardware targets. Maybe it is also because it is difficult to expose an API or an ABI from Forth that other types of languages can use.
@tetrislife I'd say maybe that but likely more the same mentality as people telling you to write things in rust: thinking they or their language are superior in some way and also "if I had to suffer through that garbage, so should you"
