Why is forth such a superior language? It offers the most bang for your buck but how does it achieve this?

Forth is cool, but what does this even mean?

The limitations (eg. function must fit in this space or it's too big) it has bundled with the low level features (eg. the only data type is a cell which is literally a bunch of bytes, also a bunch of assembly-like features) it has effectively force you to write better code and to use bottom-up iterative approaches to coding (not that placebo TDD that's so popular these days).

>word cans not be too big

Implement your own subroutines pleb

>only data type is a cell

The only datatype in any programming language is a cell under the hood. They just abstract that bit away from you so your precious head doesn't need to worry about it.

>assembly-like features

This is for low level programmers who like to be hardcore

>readability

What you mean you can't read forth? Perhaps you don't know the language then.

You are the one who is illiterate, anon. You basically said the same thing I said with retarded exposition and an overuse of whitespace.
