Neat. Rather akin to Infocom's Z-machine (or to the newer Glulx), although less task-specific.

- s-macke 10y agoIt is similar, but the compiled code here is not fully architecture independent like for the Z-machine. Each word in Forth is compiled to a function pointer. So the Forth code vary for another architecture or when you recompile. But thanks to debugging symbols this is easily reverse engineered and you can easily figure out what is "+" or "-" for example.
