I do have to disagree with you however, marketing isn't about reaching many people, it's about reaching the RIGHT people. Who cares if you reach a million people who would never have any interest in your product? That's why targeted marketing works, it gets the product before the eyes of potential customers, not people who have no interest whatsoever.

Targeted marketing only works if you know the target. I don't know the target for most products except in the most very general sense -- and in those cases I might as well be doing general marketing, because it may be that my sense of targeting is badly off.

C is a more complex language than Forth, but it isn't so complex that non-traditional techniques couldn't be used to reduce a C compiler down to an extremely small size. ...
