One of my ongoing projects is a Forth interpreter for ARM chips. Forth is an interesting programming language, quite unlike the more common languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc. If nothing else it worth reading this article just to see what else is out there.
Karl Lunt also
is quite fond of forth.
Forth has been around a bit.
Sorry, duplicate.
Forth has been around a bit.
Forth has been around a bit. Many of the old arcade games were programmed in Forth. A lot of the old Dr. Dobbs articles were about Forth.
The first compiler/interpreter I ever wrote was a Forth for the 68000.
10 years?
Forth is old
Forth was invented around 1970, about the same time as C. Forth, Inc was created to produce Forth systems and sell tools and services around 1973. As for the ten years, I was referring to AMForth for the AVR. It may be a bit more than 10 years, but not much.
I've heard of forth on
I've heard of forth on numerous occasions, seen a few guys swearing by it on the propeller, never looked at it properly though. Should have looked sooner really, definitely agree that its interesting. Just goes to show how different things can be sometimes.
Did have a look to see if its been done on arduino yet, turns out it has but my search brought me onto bitlash instead: https://github.com/billroy/bitlash/wiki/install
AMForth for AVR
There is a very good Forth for AVRs, with a build meant for Arduinos
http://amforth.sourceforge.net/
It's been around for a long time, about ten years, and is very complete and mature.
