Charles H. Moore

thumb|Charles H. Moore Charles H. Moore (born 1938) is an American computer engineer and programmer. He is the creator of the Forth computer language. Sourced I like the observation that Forth is an amplifier: a good programmer can write a great program; a bad programmer a terrible one. I feel no need to cater to bad programmers. Quoted in Naomi Hamilton, "The A-Z of Programming Languages: Forth," Computerworld (June 27, 2008) It was a very academic environment. That became frustrating because there was no pressure for results. I thought commercial applications would be more rewarding. But since then I’ve met too many people who want to make a career out of a project instead of completing it. That’s life. https://www.red-gate.com/simple-talk/opinion/geek-of-the-week/chuck-moore-geek-of-the-week/ Chuck Moore: Geek of the Week Richard Morris, interviewer August 5, 2009 November 14, 2018 External links Category:1938 births Category:Living people Category:Programmers from the United States Category:Designers Category:People from Pittsburgh Category:People from Michigan
