Although I haven't used Forth much since the time I implemented it on the Atari ST and used it for a commercial product, I still like to think of myself as a Forth person. It continues to influence aspects of my programming style, and can be useful to have known well in surprising circumstances; for example, I once solved a thorny problem in some rather complex XSLT by adapting a technique that's quite normal in Forth, but would be considered downright weird in many other languages. So yes, we are different :-)
