I like programming in Forth but I spend an inordinate amount of time doing stack manipulation to get all of the variables and parameters in the right spots in order to operate on them. Most of the time I spend more time on the mechanics of programming in Forth then on the logic I am trying to code.
I don't need to be reminded that Forth words should be very short but sometimes even short words can get convoluted. A partial solution to this would be named parameters and local variables. I know some dialects of Forth support this. Has anyone done this for AmForth? If so I would really like to see the code for doing this. I may attempt to do this on my own but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if it has already been done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
