- stevekemp 8y agoFORTH is a wonderful language, I've written a couple of toy implementations. I just wish I could use it for something "real".
- pmarreck 8y agoSame here! https://github.com/pmarreck/elixir-snippets/blob/master/rpn_forth_thing.exs https://github.com/pmarreck/elixir-snippets/blob/master/rpn_... I found it fun, and it was actually super easy to implement a stack-based language interpreter in an immutable pattern-matching language like Erlang/Elixir. It's incomplete because I haven't yet figured out how to define the defining character ":"...
