That's coincidental. I've just introduced the members of my favorite
Esoteric Programming Languages mailing list to the TI-92, and now we're
theorizing about applications, too. (Though over there we're mostly
talking about Turing-tarpit languages and optical
Babylonian-clay-tablet-cuneiform readers.)

I had totally forgotten that it existed! I remember seeing it once, and
I'm currently having a hell of a time finding it on ticalc.org. Can you
give me a pointer?
If anyone on the list has any Forth-implementing experience, I'd like to
swap ideas with you. Namely, I'm trying to work out how to keep execution
fast in an environment where RAM addresses change frequently (i.e. perhaps
using heap handles), and some ideas on incremental compilation (perhaps an
intermediate parsed bytecode stage?).
