Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Retro: A Modern, Pragmatic Forth
I'm slowly working on one. The repo is a mess and the examples don't actually run (they're sketches of where I'm trying to go; the unit tests in the Zig source are a better idea of where I'm actually at so far), but I'm attempting to slap a "minimum viable "does this shape align with this other shape" type of type system" onto a loosely-FORTH-inspired stack machine with some modern amenities with Gale. https://sr.ht/~klardotsh/gale/ (or for the GitHub fans, https://github.com/klardotsh/gale)

My history with Forth, and stack machines
My impression so far is (in general), Forth are practically limited to doing embedded/microcontroller development.
For us, web/mobile/desktop app devs, beside:
- 8th (https://8th-dev.com)
- Factor (https://factorcode.org)
Any suggestion which implementation we should look for?
- Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page
- Retro: A Modern, Pragmatic Forth
-
Pharo 11, the pure object-oriented language and environment is released!
Factor is also very much worth a look. Forth-style syntax, but with many of the ideas from CL and Smalltalk as well. In fact as a CL fan, I was very impressed by it. It's also quite "batteries included" a la Python.

The toki pona of programming.
Otherwise, and more seriously, I'm not completely sure variables are needed. Factor is quite usable (it's my favorite go-to language if I quickly need to script something), and mostly doesn't have them.

A Dynamic Forth Compiler for WebAssembly
There's a note on the page from 2022-08-19, that a lot has been added to it. It also links to the github page[1] for the up-to-date changes.
I am a Lisp, April, APL/J/BQE, and Forth[2] aficionado. I did some file munging programs in Factor back in 2012 at my job to sort through theater attendance logs in Word to compile statistics.

What the hell is Forth? (2019)
Is there any "battery-included" ANS Forth (more or less like Python/Go) which provides access to concurrency, networking, database, GUI, etc?
Not an embedded device programmer, but mostly deals with frontend apps, and occasionally backend, so those are very relevant to me.
Or perhaps use "non-traditional" Forths like 8th (https://8th-dev.com) or Factor (https://factorcode.org)?

-🎄- 2022 Day 2 Solutions -🎄-
Here's my day two solution using Factor
What are some alternatives?
bog - Small, strongly typed, embeddable language.
jonesforth - Mirror of JONESFORTH
mstoical - MStoical - a Forth like language, but better
durexforth - Modern C64 Forth
ActorForth - A strongly typed Forth-like language ultimately intended to target cryptoledgers and support an Actor concurrency model. Initially implemented in Python, now switched to modern C++.
bondi - source code for the bondi programming language
LoLa - LoLa is a small programming language meant to be embedded into games.
Raylib-CsLo - autogen bindings to Raylib 4.x and convenience wrappers on top. Requires use of `unsafe`
Vyxal - A code-golfing language experience that has aspects of traditional programming languages - terse, elegant, readable.
oil - Oils is our upgrade path from bash to a better language and runtime. It's also for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell!
discussion - Discussion repository for Forth enthusiasts.
