I attended this zoom, it was pretty fun! There was also a really fantastic presentation early in the meeting by a high school student who had implemented Forth in Java with Java reflection to call into the standard Java libraries for FIRST Tech Challenge.

It looks as though Forth 2020 is becoming a regular monthly zoom meeting.

I remember reading his book and getting into Forth once I understood how it all worked under the hood all those years ago. I never used Forth for anything but still remember how it works.
