If you want to have some fun from 1979, I highly recommend FORTH. It's really good and would have taken over the universe (lowercase u) had K&R C not dropped as part of the slow motion train wreck known as Unix (not to be confused with Linux). https://hackaday.io/project/170826/logs?sort=oldest https://hackaday.io/project/170826/logs?sort=oldest
- vaxman 1y agoPS: Charles "Chuck" Moore (who developed FORTH) last made a release called etherForth at https://etherforth.org/ https://etherforth.org/ It runs on a chip he designed called the GA144 (which is also programmed in arrayForth3) available at https://www.greenarraychips.com/home/products/index.php https://www.greenarraychips.com/home/products/index.php Again, this is for devs that want to have some fun. Between ZeptoForth and etherForth, you're covered.
- microtherion 1y agoFORTH is amazing for bootstrapping on a small system. But actually writing code with it is an acquired taste at best.
