Ah, so it's a so-called "high-level assembler" like PL/360 [0] for System/360 or PL-11 [1] for PDP-11? The problem with such languages is, well, C has killed them pretty thoroughly. You can take PCC, or LCC, or Tiny

Frankly, the way the functionality needed to implement LF-to-CRLF conversion on output/CR-to-LF conversion on input/line editing/session and process management is split between the terminal itself, the kernel, and the applica

Yep, and that makes implementing addition of "Connection: close" in an HTTP reply at the HTTP/1.1-server's side somewhat tricky: you ideally need to read all of the pipelined requests from the client before closing the

What does this say about Forth? Not much except that it isn't for me. Take Prolog. I know few things more insulting than having to code in Prolog. Whereas Armstrong developed Erlang in Prolog and liked it much better
