The Forth (and Lisp) posts will continue until the entire HN population has been converted.

I am glad that this forum that has mostly been colonized by the ‘normies’ still manages to keep these two languages in the conversation, capturing curious passersby with their exotic allure. In every post you see new prey with the comments like ‘I keep reading about Lisp and I still don’t get why it’s popular. All I see is parentheses. Can anybody explain?’

I fear the day HN closes is the day those languages will die.

Nah, we will keep hoping around.

USENET, Slashdot, Reddit, HN, Lambda the ultimate,....

There will surely be a spot left for the refugees.

The biggest issue is when natural language programming would make all these paradigms irrelevant, a curiosity for computing history museums.
