Parrot Forth
Released: 14 October 2004
Version: 0.1
Download: http://matt.diephouse.com/software/parrot-forth-0.1.tar.gz
This is the initial release of my re-implementation of Parrot Forth in
PIR. Code reviews are both welcome and appreciated (PIR is kind of
new, so I may not be doing everything correctly). The two main goals
of this implementation are: to be a complete example of how to
implement a Parrot compiler and to be as clean and readable as
possible.
Current Features:
o 25 Built-In Words (use `words` to see them)
o A Nice Prompt
o Initial Support for ." (printing a string)
o Basic Integer Support
o The Ability to Define New Words (using `: ... ;`)
Still to Come:
o Strings
o Variables
o Constants
o Loops
o Conditionals
o Numeric Bases
o More Words
To use it, untar, cd into the directory and run `parrot forth.pir`. It
needs to be executed from inside this direcotry, so you may need to
run `../../parrot forth.pir` or something similar.
Enjoy!
