My own gut feeling on this is that any programming language has its pros and cons and learning to use a particular language adeptly does take an investment of time and practice. Forth has always looked interesting to me as well but there aren't that many people that you can turn to when you have a problem and even fewer if it involves the AVR. C seems to be a good mix for microcontroller programming and there are lots of people out there to help if you get stuck.

I have been following the thead on Basic, "C" and asm for programing
and then forth was mention. I would like to know more about forth in
regards to the avr devics. Let me also say that I have very little
experince in programing in amy language. Mostly just altering the code
in some simple basic programs. I am retired so I am not bound to
learnig the language that is most popular for the work place. I have
always liked what I have read about forth and thought that I would like
to learn how to program with it. I am now starting the book "C
programming for Microcontrollers" using the AVR butterfly and the free
WinAVR compiler. The comments about WinAVR compiler on this list and
other places are not all that good, however it is "free" money wise but
I wonder about time wise. Another question is how much time do you
have to invest in learning an language and which one would be suited to
a causal user.
