There's Forth in That !
« on: July 30, 2019, 10:48:20 am »
This is a informative video by Leon Wagner given in August 2018 at the German Forth User Group.

As can be seen in the video, Forth is very much in current use, such as a high tech device, similar to a implantable RFID tag to alleviate severe back pain in humans.

Forth is great for embedded development work. For example a small Forth CPU inside an FPGA.. All you need to write the FW is a serial terminal then  :)
Readers discretion is advised..

Unless I miss-remember, there is at least one Forth developer who mentioned he is working on something like that.

He has a website here, but I don't see any mention of his Forth/FPGA project, perhaps it's ready yet.

If you want to play with Mecrisp Forth inside a cheapo FPGA then there are at least two directions I may point you to :)

Out of curiosity, is there any interest in the Forth community for a type-checked Forth?

Type-checking of course could mean a variety of things, but, for instance, any Forth-to-X compiler has to check at a minimum that all code paths alter the stack in the same manner - at least for your run-of-the-mill definitions.
