Forth Day 2014

  • video
  • The map is not the territory, this is not a pipe
  • First Forth processed strings
  • Then indirect threaded code
  • Then subroutine threaded code
  • Then colorForth
    • Pre-parsed source code
    • Shannon encoded characters (neat trick no great value)
    • Weird keyboard (nobody will use except me [Chuck])
    • Moved compiler to the editor
  • About 6 nodes to make a GA144 be able to compile its own code
  • Eliminate the compiler, have a good decompiler, edit the object code
    • Tried to do this 5-8 years ago
    • Need a wrapper: dictionary, maybe control flow, tools
    • Decompiler needs to work at 60Hz
    • Hopes to show next year (2014)
  • MegaForths and MicroForths
    • PolyForth is a MegaForth
  • Audio cuts out :-(
