Sad video to watch. I can't help but feel for the guy, even though I wouldn't know Forth from fifth except for being aware of its influence and its place at the root of an entire taxonomy of languages, and recalling that Chuck was its originator. (ngcc_hk, is it too late to fix the spelling of his name?)
Many if not most of us will be sitting in that chair someday, wondering why our code or our hardware broke for no apparent reason, yet again, and realizing that this time is different because we just don't have enough patience, motivation, or time left to deal with it.
Wish I knew exactly what went wrong. Did they yank DirectDraw out of Win32, or something?
