• 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

• Pharo 11, the pure object-oriented language and environment is released!

  Factor is also very much worth a look. Forth-style syntax, but with many of the ideas from CL and Smalltalk as well. In fact as a CL fan, I was very impressed by it. It's also quite "batteries included" a la Python. Source: about 1 year ago

• The toki pona of programming.

  Otherwise, and more seriously, I'm not completely sure variables are needed. Factor is quite usable (it's my favorite go-to language if I quickly need to script something), and mostly doesn't have them. Source: about 1 year 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

• A Dynamic Forth Compiler for WebAssembly

  There's a note on the page from 2022-08-19, that a lot has been added to it. It also links to the github page[1] for the up-to-date changes. I am a Lisp, April, APL/J/BQE, and Forth[2] aficionado. I did some file munging programs in Factor back in 2012 at my job to sort through theater attendance logs in Word to compile statistics.
