Very nice.
Building a new FORTH using FORTH might have been easier; FORTH is traditionally very good at rebuilding itself. e.g. WimpForth on a PI400 recompiles its own kernel to an absolute image (executable) in 00:00:007.
FORTH week on HN is great.
The main trouble with FORTH is remembering to stop playing with FORTH and actually write the App.
- anta40 6y ago"actually write the App." I assume FORTH is mostly used for embedded development these days? And perhaps umm... instrumentation? What about mobile apps? Or REST API?

- kragen 6y agoYeah, it probably would have been easier to metacompile from an existing FORTH, but the whole point was to not have a lot of dependencies on existing code.
