On: Forth – Is it still relevant?

[agumonkey]

I found the culture in forth very interesting

    - optimizing the code density (threaded interpretation)
    - the dynamicism was said to allow for numerical optimization not possible in math libs / fortran long ago
      (see J.V.Noble papers, I'm not knowledgeable enough to confirm his claims but i assume they hold some ground)

    - the bare-metal repl feel is also special, as freeing as poking basic on old hardware but with the freedom of lisp in a way

forth sits in the thinking-altering languages land firmly imho

May I recommend the Concatenative discord server to dive deep into a vibrant, niche community of small forth-like languages. There’s a lot of cool people in there (I’m just a user)

hehe for sure, it's a forth thread but i also love joy and factor, i'll jump in, thanks a lot
