334 <li>In short: it's just a number.
336 <li>Many years ago inspired by the ideas of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)">Forth (programming
337 language)</a> I decided to create my own implementation <a href="http://www3.svjatoslav.eu/projects/fifth/">Fifth</a>
338 (computing/programming environment).
340 <li>Then I realized I miss type safe object oriented capabilities. So
341 I updated the name to Sixth and switched to Java.
