This is a strange article imo.
I was expecting to see FORTH in bare metal C or ASM.
There is a common myth about newbie programmers that FORTH is write-only and that you need to type everything in one line, without comments or function calls etc.
Writing forth is super easy especially if you have a stack machine at your disposal. For example when you are building your own virtual cpu/architecture with assembler and compiler.
It's more trivial than to understand any JavaScript framework lol
Research FORTH more guys - it doesn't need to be strange and hard :)
ps. Lisp SUCKS
/rant
- volemo 8mo agoI was with you 'till the last line. :P
- iberator 8mo agoIMO Lisp is harder to implement than Forth, and LESS readable, butt MAYBE i fell into the same trap as others with Forth. hahaha

- NetMageSCW 8mo agoactually I think Lisp is easier to implement than Forth, buth is it really Forth if the internals aren’t discussed? (E.g. Word secondary, threaded code, etc)
- lebuffon 8mo agoForth does not specify threaded code. Implementation is left to the implementor. Internally Forth can be direct threaded code, indirect threaded code, byte code, sub-routine calls or optimized native code.
