Charles Moore - The Father of Forth
 Charles "Chuck" Moore, perhaps best known for the seminal work he did in developing the Forth software language.
- Moore co-founded Forth Inc. in 1971, after which he developed the Forth-based chip that was taken to market in the mid 1980s by Harris Corporation as the RTX2000, derivatives of which are still being widely used by NASA. At Computer Cowboys, he designed the Sh-Boom microprocessor, and then co-founded iTV, an Internet Appliance manufacturer.
- During the1990s, Moore used his own CAD software to design several custom VLSI chips, including the F21 processor with a network interface. More recently, he invented ColorForth and ported his VLSI design tools to it.
