Amen.
I would like an APL using ASCII characters written in Forth.

- micro_softy 10y agoReva Forth (Windows/Mac/Linux)[1] is cool but how about a Forth that does not require an OS? 1. No Plan9/BSD/etc. The true beauty of Forth to me is the relative ease with which one can boot into a Forth REPL and start controlling hardware, without an "OS". The idea is a computer with APL as its "OS". The project at kparc.com is closer to this idea than the one at cosy.com. What is evident in both cases that this idea has survived. And that's good.
