@rek @neauoire I don’t know either of you IRL but it was really fun to see folks I follow on Mastodon show up in such a super interesting article. It has me stoked to dig in to Forth!
Starting Forth teaches how to write simple applications in Forth. It includes standard Forth words used to write a high-level, single-task application.
@igb@hccp.org @rek @neauoire Random facts about Forth that I can remember offhand.
SUN Microsystems adopted Forth for their OpenFirmware boot code. Apple eventually adopted OF when moving to OS X back in 2000. So two big users of Forth right there.

The best way to break into Forth, I think, is through Leo Brodie's illustrated book
