Hi David, thanks for the info!
> Today on HN I read about a tiny stack-based CPU called J1. > This is its homepage: http://www.excamera.com/sphinx/fpga-j1.html and here is > a more formal description: http://www.excamera.com/files/j1.pdf As Geo said, there have been Forth CPUs around a long time. I saw the first ones around 20 years ago. Forth is a very simple virtual machine, which maps perfectly to hardware. > "The J1 is probably close to the simplest possible useful CPU." > Alexander, do you agree with that statement? Is the J1 the same as pil? I see no similarities at all. Also, PilMCU doesn't strive particularly for simplicity (the PicoLisp *language* does). It is rather complex, with built-in database and garbage collection. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
