How come there are no free, well-debugged, well-do***ented libraries
for Forth which perform the tasks you describe, such as text
processing, web application development, GUIs, etc? If it's so easy,
why do some people in this very newsgroup admit to using Perl for text
processing, Tcl/Tk for GUIs, and so on?
