Congrats, this is really impressive. Hopefully I'll have some free time in the next few months to try it out. Never used Forth before, so I might give it a bit of a go sometime soon. Any good further resources other than the wiki page?
- RodgerTheGreat 15y agoGForth, a popular ANS-Forth implementation, has very extensive documentation: http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/ http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Docs-html/ This particular Forth is based on the eForth dialect. There isn't a ton of documentation that I'm aware of, but it's almost entirely self-hosted, and if you can read Forth the source is fairly short and well-commented: http://www.baymoon.com/~bimu/forth/ http://www.baymoon.com/~bimu/forth/ For a gentle introduction to Forth I recommend Starting Forth (http://www.forth.com/starting-forth/ http://www.forth.com/starting-forth/) followed by Thinking Forth (http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/ http://thinking-forth.sourceforge.net/), both by Leo Brodie.
- Wilduck 15y agoI'd just like to note how fun the book Starting Forth is. It's a bit like The Little Lisper in that it's entertaining (there are comics), but thicker, with a fuller treatment of the material.
