For all you luggers who grew up with Osborne 1s, IBM 370s, and the like: 
http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/11/04/027202/why-coding-at-fifty-may-be-nifty.

While on the subject, what was the first language you coded in that gave 
you that "Oh, that's cool" vibe?

BJ: I had coded in Fortran, 360 Assembler, Cobol, etc. But FORTH
was what I thought was outstanding not for its terrible syntax
but it superior capability to create embedded applications. C and
everything else that follows that is essentially C-like in syntax
turns me off. So the bottom line is that I don't like the syntax
of any of them!
