John Earnest has a lot of cool things (his work is incredibly underrated), but an example of something he wrote in Forth is Mako, an entire console:

During the days of the U.S.S.R., the Russians independently discovered Forth in DSSP, an incredibly similar language. Multiple universities were filled with DSSP, and it worked incredibly well for them.
Most of the people I know personally who are stopped posting code publicly when Gitorious died, but they're definitely still around. It's a bit like APL, my language of choice: the communities are there, they're just...in hiding.
- mycall 7y agoDo you know of any good code repositories for DSSP?
- kick 7y agoDSSP is effectively a dead language. There are a few interpreters, but for a long time there weren't, so there hasn't been much code for decades now. It died with the U.S.S.R., like many innovations in computing did.
- abecedarius 7y agoI wondered too (first I've heard of this) but all I find is in Cyrillic: https://github.com/trinarium/DSSP-C https://github.com/trinarium/DSSP-C I did find one short paper in English: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/euroforth/ef00/lyakina00.pdf http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/euroforth/ef00/lyakin...
- kick 7y agoHere's an interpreter with docs in English: https://github.com/beadleha/libreDSSP https://github.com/beadleha/libreDSSP
