My history with Forth, and stack machines

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • factor

    Factor programming language

  • 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?

  • idel

    A low-level virtual machine for mobile code

  • There was a wasm predecessor (by, well, me) with a bit more of the Forth flavor: https://github.com/darius/idel

    From >20 years ago and my main regret is a failure to carry it through to be more than a demo.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
