Ten years of Forth in ACM Sigplan Notices: part 1

ABSTRACT

So here we are: ten years of the ACM Sigplan Notices Forth Report is behind us. How amazing it is that we have reached this milestone! I hope that this column's longevity is a reflection of its popularity and perceived value to our readers.
