You mean cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors?


If you don't like naming variables, use Fourth. (You'll still have to name functions, though.)

Against off-by-one errors, abstain from any from of loop.

For the real hard problems, like deciding whether your program has crashed or just takes a long time, give up.


Naming things was even harder when filenames were restricted to five characters or less.

That's why they had to name it Forth.
