So surely Forth should make a resurgence, it has the most code density, the fastest runtime and the lowest error rate.
The only metric is loses on is its high score in impenetrability.
- thesz 15y agoActually, you don't need a Forth implementation to benefit from compact code. Take a look: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.37.3758 http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.37.3... They split program into slow and fast parts, slow parts used compact byte-code interpreter, fast parts were compiled into native code with optimizations. They didn't used "code compression" like Forters do - Forters refactor common pieces of code into separate definitions. Nevertheless, they made quite balanced system.
