I just learned a little bit of PostScript the other day, and it seems
to be a lot like Forth in several ways.  Does other people in this
newsgroup use it?  From my brief experience with it it looks like
there are some things that Forth could learn from it - for example in
the way it treats data types, and the nice way that def (equivalent to
Forth's :) is a postfix operator like everything else.  Anyone know more?
