The ONLY positive benefit I was suggesting was that a cascader would
increase the range of platforms Euphoria could reach easily. All the
discussion of efficiency, disadvantages of Forth from being write-only,
etc., was just meant to show that the cost wasn't too high for an interim
bridging measure after all. The idea was NOT to suggest that a cascader was
the right way to produce a final product. PML.
GST+NPT=JOBS

I.e., a Goods and Services Tax (or almost any other broad based production
tax), with a Negative Payroll Tax, promotes employment.

See http://users.netlink.com.au/~peterl/publicns.html#AFRLET2 and the other
items on that page for some reasons why.
