Its name is derived from Mr. Moore's belief that it was a "fourth-generation computer language"

I believe this is wrong. Fourth-generation languages are declarative languages like SQL, which Forth not as far as I know. I believe that the inventor thought that Forth was the fourth higher computer language ever written. That is something completely different. Spektr 21:15, 2004 Jun 4 (UTC)
