I desperately wish I had been introduced to Forth when I was learning assembly circa 1984 on my Commodore. Would have changed my life.

I had Forth for my TI/99-4A but at age 14 I lacked the background and context to be able to understand it or a mentor to get me started. I took a couple of stabs at it but the book I was using was just over my head, when all I had for comparison was programming I had done in BASIC. No internet in those days of course.
I got hold of the FIG UK 808O listing, and ported to Z80 to run on my Camputers Lynx.
