• My history with Forth, and stack machines

  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? - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What the hell is Forth? (2019)

  Is there any "battery-included" ANS Forth (more or less like Python/Go) which provides access to concurrency, networking, database, GUI, etc? Not an embedded device programmer, but mostly deals with frontend apps, and occasionally backend, so those are very relevant to me. Or perhaps use "non-traditional" Forths like 8th (https://8th-dev.com) or Factor (https://factorcode.org)? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Advent of Code 2022

  I'm a couple of days behind in the AoC. To make the challenge more demanding I opted to use a language I'm not extremely familiar with: 8th. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Berry is a ultra-lightweight dynamically typed embedded scripting language

  Show examples on the main web page. Try and find an AngelScript example. It's stupidly hard. Compare it to these web sites: https://dlang.org/ https://koka-lang.github.io/koka/doc/index.html https://vale.dev/ http://mu-script.org/ https://go.dev/ https://www.hylo-lang.org/ Sadly Rust fails this too but at least the Playground is only one click away. And Rust is mainstream anyway so it doesn't matter as much. I... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Is there a type-theoretical difference between generics and compile-time metaprogramming?

  Check out D. It has Turing-Complete templates with specialised static if, static foreach, version, and debug constructs, all as statements and declarations, as well as more general quasiquoting expressions and declarations with mixin (yes, that is the same as Ruby's, Python's or PHP's eval, but at compile-time; in fact you can import() files at compile-time too and write a compiler in user code that compiles...
