"To this day, I find it shocking that you can define defining words like CONSTANT, FIELD, CLASS, METHOD – something reserved to built-in keywords and syntactic conventions in most languages – and you can do it so compactly using such crude facilities so trivial to implement. Back when I first saw this, I didn't know about DEFMACRO and how it could be used to implement the defining words of CLOS such as DEFCLASS and DEFMETHOD (another thing about Lisp they don't teach in schools). So Forth was completely mind-blowing."
