( Perhaps you are already familiar with vocabularies? ) vocabulary minimal minimal definitions forth : + + ; : - - ; minimal vlist ( You get the idea. ) ( It needs a little more, of course, and there are better ways to do it, ) ( but you're most of the way there with built-in stuff. ) -- Joel Rees One of these days I'll get someone to pay me to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C. Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef, run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define, and stop all integer size bugs with my bare cast. http://defining-computers.blogspot.com/2017/06/reinventing-computers.html More of my delusions: http://reiisi.blogspot.com/2017/05/do-not-pay-modern-danegeld-ransomware.html http://reiisi.blogspot.jp/p/novels-i-am-writing.html
