...and in last place. Me!

There are only two programming languages that I have tried to get to grips with and failed. This is not complete failure but not being able to get much beyond the simple applications. Trying to build something bigger always fails big time.

The languages are Forth and Rebol.

God knows when I started to learn Forth, possibly the 80's, maybe earlier. I had a friend who wrote games in Forth. I could modify his code but sit me own with a blank screen and a spec and I was completely lost.

Rebol just plain confused me and I am no great fan of integrated environments (a la Smalltalk).

Oh well, can't win them all.
