There is no such thing as an "exciting" computer language.
But there's also no shortage of big, slow, verbose languages designed for dummies.
Worse, these actually form the majority of the world's most popular computer languages.
When juxtaposed against that state of affairs, the small, terse, fast, flexible languages which do not insult one's intelligence could seem "exciting".
FORTH has that effect on me.
Check IOCC. And let me know if you do get it to compile.
Well done. What language did you use to write it?
C. I know, booorring; I just hate dealing with the x86 and haven't had occasion to work with ARM, etc.

P.S. If Dan Bernstein did write a Forth, I'd like to see it.
