@thatbrickster Every language ever should be bootstrapped from a small machine code kernel that builds a !forth kernel that then builds the real thing. -

@vertigo #picolisp is pretty !forth-like in a sense. Its a very small kernel, it bridges well with machine code and most of it is written in picolisp. But the kernel is in assembler and quite tied to the hardware. pico for x86-64 an x86 even have different features. I guess that makes it both easy and hard to port. Tiny kernel, but you need to rewrite it all each time. -

@limbclock Take a look at !forth. That's as real-world as you get. -

I like !forth people. They seem fun!

@lnxw48a1 It pretty much doesn't. It's a headless popular movement. :-)
Chuck's most featured !Forth is ColorForth, but the domain has expired, and it's probably not the most commonly used one. And the most commonly used one is probably not very commonly used anyway, because people tend to make their own. :-)
Maybe I'll just use the cover of some old Forth book. They tend to just say FORTH in colorful letters, from what I've seen.
