Bought an assembled one at a good discount. The calculator store owner was happy to unload it because nobody else even knew what it was used for. Cobbled together a homebrew power supply and crossed my fingers. First power-up was the second most nervous moment of my life.

Which is why I'm always on about the value of understanding computation from first principles. It helps one to notice things that are hidden by compilers, emulators, and simulators. Occasionally crucial things. Machines are watching us; turnabout is fair play.

It's sometimes useful to go backwards too. PygmyForth is an extremely useful language for fossils like me. It's written in Python and new primitives can be coded in Python. I've resurrected some of my ancient code with it (#GOFAI, #Astronomy).

How can anyone comprehend a data center without grokking the miracle of a single transistor?

To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.

Learning is what humans do by nature. Even if we're not engineers. The current "AI" wave is actually the outsourcing of thought. The enshittification of thought in fact. The KIM-1 and its cousins were true intelligence amplifiers.

CDP1802: flexible 16x16 bit registers, clockable down to DC
Powerful instruction set, interrupts, CMOS efficiency
No wonder it was the brain of several space probes.

ELF-II plus KIM-1 pretty much did it all. Halcyon days.

If Forth had been widely taught in schools, we'd be on Titan by now. If it had also been invented earlier, we'd be on Triton.

Perhaps explains why the flirtation with #FORTH never took deep root. If it had, what a different world this would be.

Even before the ZX81, I used to eagerly await each issue of Scientific American hoping to see a Sinclair Forth-based programmable calculator. Alas.
