I got into Forth recently - using Gnu Forth - but got bogged down at my inability to do graphics. There are hardly any Forth programming videos of any kind online, besides the "101" kind, but I found one by a guy who managed to get graphics/windows going, I think with GForth. (Can't find it on youtube now.) Looked mega-complicated. So lately back into Tcl/Tk, which also satisfies my "bizarre, powerful and very cool language" itch but actually makes graphics/windows super-easy. I do think Forth is awesome though!
After getting into Forth I got into PostScript, which does have most of the Forth fun/freedom taken out of it. It's not usable for GUI-type programming is it?

Look at Sun NeWS and Display PostScript for GUIs written in PostScript (well...an extended PostScript).
