Gee, who would want to do that?

Does anyone here remember the glory days of FORTH?
A true 'write-only' language. It's like reading raw
Postscript and trying to remember what is on the stack
And how it got there.

Which makes me think about all of the other dead programming languages out
there - does anyone still use Pascal? I seem to recall that the original Mac
code was written in Pascal - about as different a language from IDL as I can
think of.
