    Mirror of JONESFORTH

    I recommend studying a simple Forth implementation. rwmj wrote a tutorial/x86 implementation, now widely called Jonesforth:

    Main x86 source to bootstrap minimal interpreter/compiler: https://github.com/nornagon/jonesforth/blob/master/jonesfort...

    Further Forth definitions: https://github.com/nornagon/jonesforth/blob/master/jonesfort...

    Factor programming language

    A different Forth I enjoy to hobby code puzzles in is [Factor](https://factorcode.org/) and is probably an easier place for people to start. Forths are wonderful languages that everyone should have some exposure to, they are like a cross of Lisp and Smalltalk. You should definitely try it at least once.
