I was indeed thinking of ColorForth! I imagine Chuck Moore would recognise it as not ColorForth but instead a colorful Forth, but it's a nice opportunity to use colour to notate the way each word is processed. More to come of that. Thanks!

Thank you :) Really kind of you

my view so far -

forth is simple and beautiful. and, like all simple and beautiful things, the closer you look, the more you realise that it is in fact a tightly woven web of disturbing complexity

but that might just be me

Thanks for the kind words Jason :)

oh, and the last video! a bit of a grab bag on algorithms for converting regexes directly into DFAs, following up a loose thread on why Thompson's construction is sometimes known as the McNaughton-Yamada-Thompson construction... tldr it probably shouldn't! youtu.be/tAw9-nTCuzI

i have discovered something very sly in the Unix ed.c
