- kryptiskt 11y agoThis style of threaded code shines in making it compact. So it's useful for bootloaders and other very constrained environments.
- rwmj 11y agoYeah I'm not going to defend FORTH as a practical language -- it's annoying to write significant programs in it. However it does fit in a smaller space than C (probably). I'm currently writing an ML derivative language for smaller systems and I hope that'll be practical while at the same time being a better alternative to C.
