Hi again!
I've heard that Forth is implemented using a very small interpreter, which
makes it a good language for the embedded domain.
I've also read that Factor has a good optimizing compiler.
These two propositions (if true) lead me to the following question for the
community. Is there a way to create a very small executable (for Windows) for a
very small script?
I've tried the deploy-tool on the following example vocabulary:
USING: accessors command-line io io.directories io.files.types
kernel namespaces sequences ;
IN: ls
<PRIVATE
: list-files-and-dirs ( path -- files dirs )
directory-entries [ type>> +regular-file+ = ] partition ;
PRIVATE>
: ls ( path -- )
list-files-and-dirs
"DIRECTORIES:" write nl
"------------" write nl
[ name>> write nl ] each
nl
"FILES:" write nl
"------" write nl
[ name>> write nl ] each ;
: ls-run ( -- ) command-line get first ls ;
MAIN: ls-run
The resulting simple ls.exe weighs a somewhat disappointing 1.31 Mb.
Are there tools or techniques to thrim the excess bloat from the console-only
executable? I was hoping for 5 - 50 Kb range of the result.
Thank you!
