Presumably that’s compounded by the fact that the inventor, Chuck Moore, feels strongly that Forth is more of a concept to be reimplemented for each project, customized along with the hardware, than a programming language to be standardized.
- throwaway17_17 6y agoMoore’s talks and quotes of his from various lecture notes on this point really inspired the underlying theory of my personal programming language. I wanted something that I could adapt to different use cases when I saw fit, but with a solid underlying theoretical base. I have been using it for my personal work for about 8 months now (compiling to JS, C or C++ depending on project) and I’m enjoying it greatly as well as being productive.
- macintux 6y agoDo you have a blog post about your language? If not, you should write one.
- throwaway17_17 6y agoI don’t at this point. I have been playing around with the idea of a release or something similar. But people tend to expect a lot when a new language is shown. I don’t know if anyone would be interested in just reading about the language and then not even being able to use some light playground or anything. I have been considering doing an Ask HN to see what people felt should be included on an initial ‘release’ or showing of a language. Maybe I should.
- macintux 6y agoJust a description of your philosophy and how it and the language have evolved would be interesting, along with some sample code (and sample output), regardless of whether you eventually release it.
- zzo38computer 6y agoDo you have any documentation? I might want to see, maybe.
