In the Spring of 2025, I taught a course about interactive programming environments to a small group of students. For various reasons, I have to take down the official web page for that site, which includes slides that may be of interest to people who care about these things. I have therefore chosen to publish those slides on Lost Bits under a Creative Commons License.

I'm excited to announce the completion of "Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page (Charles H. Moore and the pursuit of simplicity.)"

Recommended for fans of: historical computing, programming languages, and space technology.

Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page

An exploration of the evolution and meaning of the Forth programming language and its context in history.

I would apologize for posting what at first appears to be another "tech toot"...but since I churned out almost 40 drawings for this talk on the Forth programming language, I don't feel bad about it at all. Here's the slides:

I happen to know some of you enjoy space ships, calculators, and old computers as much as I do.
