Wow!... I'm glad it's interest is still current !!
When I said 'dead', I meant no longer prevalent as it was in the 80's, 90's.
The video link/post by ebclr amazed me !!! The Video was honestly above my level, but I followed
enough to grasp the contemporary usefulness of the described Mecrisp Forth, on STM32 Microcontroller.
I loved the way 'Forth', not 'Fourth', (as the original system at conception could only handle 5-char filenames!)
was so immediately useable while defining 'words' without re-compiling etc. You could make it almost so
English like, in structuring commands/sentences, (seemingly) without a 'program' as such, but simply constantly
defining higher & higher level Words. (With parameters). Control of actual Inputs/Outputs was beautiful !!
I guess i was talking here, more to those that are un-familiar :-)
It was a strange beast :-) The first implementation that 'I' saw/had, was on a plug-in Cartridge on the
Commodore-64. This was before I found out about it's implementation in numerous chips/devices.
