I don't know HP/rpn but I imagine that its very much like FORTH, which
is thinking like the CPU to build the Tower of Babylon (having WORD
definition, which HP/rpn may not).

The only PostScript I've seen (destined for Apple LaserWriters) looks
like it was written by a giant on a 8,192 column terminal and then loaded
into Vim by a mere mortal. I concur with the abuse, but have not
discovered its beauty for myself.

As for assembler, one doesn't think like the computer--one *is* the
computer, guts and glory.

Sincerely,
