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.

Anon knows programming
And having run across jonesForth (https://github.com/organix/pijFORTHos/tree/master/annexia read the .s file and then the .f file) and basically the idea of building your own personal software stack from scratch, but part of the problem is just having hardware that wasn’t designed to be super complicated to interface with (like USB being much more complicated than PS/2 or wiring up your own grid of switches for a keyboard).

Jonesforth – A sometimes minimal FORTH compiler and tutorial (2007)
I want to write one for bare metal (non-Linux) raspberry pi (ARMv6 32 bit on Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero; ARMv7 and ARMv8 on higher models and also supports 64 bit). I want to have no dependencies required though so was thinking of bootstrapping it with nothing but machine code (determined initially with the help of an assembler and documentation of course). Someone has already ported jonesforth the Raspberry Pi[1] but using serial i/o as the user interface and it has dependecies to build it, but I should be able to get ideas from how they coded their assembly parts compared to the original jonesforth. I want to be able to use HDMI for the screen (already tried it out with some bare metal tutorials in assembly so that's do-able) and again, with no dependencies. And I want to show people how to do it themselves, not just have it be something to run that they don't understand fully. It should also be possible to have the forth kernel build/assemble itself if needed, or cross-target another platform.
I know I'm all talk right now, like you say, I need to manage my free time so that I would have the "copious free time" to work on this.

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)?
