Programmer productivity seems to be rather limited, otherwise we'd see more things made with it.

>Programmer productivity seems to be rather limited, otherwise we'd see more things made with it. The real bottleneck to productivity will always be the programmer himself, rather than some editor, which is why I find it funny when people tell me they "learned vim to become more productive". Typing source code never is the bottleneck unless you're typing with 2 fingers, and even then, I've seen some really fast peckers.
Either way, I don't know the relevance of your post to my post about Forth. Forth is probably the most minimal and still useful language that currently exists that isn't just a meme.

I was referring to Forth. Again, productivity seems to be limited. The minimalism is standing in its own way and I've not seen libraries or tools that enhance Forth's reach.
