I was guessing you were talking about Forth. I've been meaning to play around with it. I found the old books 'Starting Forth' and 'Thinking Forth' online, and read through parts of them. Now I just have to think of something to code with it. :) Regarding Alan Kay's initiative, here's a link to the grant proposal: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/NSF_prop_RN-2006-002.pdf It's forth-ish in some ways, in that it aims to run from the bare metal up to the end user, and that it's very flexible and extensible. It's built up from a different set of first principles, though. It's a very interesting research project. --Levi /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
