    Forth also requires very minimal resources to implement which can be fun in constrained environments. Here it is on a TI-84+ calculator[0] or even a computer in The Powder Toy.[1]

    The runtime design is a little quirky but straightforward and you can extend the system as you execute (or even change interpreter semantics), or add optimizations such as some form of JIT quite easily.

  • Jonesforth – A sometimes minimal FORTH compiler and tutorial (2007)

    Some time ago I wrote an implementation of Forth that runs on the TI-84+ and TI-83+ calculators directly inspired by Jonesforth.[0] It runs under TI-OS as well, but the amount of available space is somewhat limited. On another implementation I wrote[1] you have full access to the calculator hardware and memory from Forth.

    On the TI-84+, assembly programs still work and it's still a test-approved device. I wrote a Forth interpreter[0] that can interop with the syscalls as well
