https://github.com/romforth/romforth already has a port to RISV-V for both 32 and 64 bit, (among many others). So if you don't mind lowering your language implementation to romforth (or even rewriting your compile

You jest, but I did end up doing just that in my implementation ( https://github.com/romforth/romforth ) trying to shoehorn a Forth implementation into a MSP430 device with just 2KB ROM + 128 byte RAM

So you had your heart set on running Forth on a microcontroller with 512 bytes of ROM and 64 bytes of RAM? Here you go!

This one boots from the parallel port: https://github.com/climatex/BootLPT (more details here https://boginjr.com/it/sw/dev/bootlpt-86/ )

It will be interesting to see how much further this can be taken.

Hello HN, Tree Walk Format (TWF) is a flat file format to describe your family tree. It allows you to describe your family tree in one (or more) files which are editable using your favorite text editor. I see it as a viable alternative to G

Allow me to brag about romforth ( https://github.com/romforth/romforth ) which I ported to the "3c" Padauk and can run on really small rom/ram microcontrollers. Caveats: - tested only on an emulator SDCC&#

Feel free to check out https://github.com/olvwm/xview/ as well. I wanted to run olvwm on Linux (when it went out of support on Ubuntu 16.04) and I'd managed to get this running on Ubuntu 20.04 (and more recen

By that metric, my implementation of romforth for x86 clocks in at just 12 bytes (see https://github.com/romforth/romforth/x86/forth.s ) The "bug" in the counting used here is that the overall Kolmog

I've been faithfully using the same window manager [olvwm] for ~30 years and counting. In fact the decision about which [distro] I pick for daily use is totally dependent on whether it can be coaxed into running [xview]+olvwm. [olvwm]:

To build minimal linux systems, I've found Minimal Linux Live [^1] and Floppinux [^2] useful. There was a list of build steps for 486 [^3] as well, in case you are targeting older machines. [1]: https://github.com/ivand

Something like an automated proof assistant to help annotate the stack while coding would be awesome, but I'm not aware of any. These might be famous last words, but if switching between compile/interpret modes is ignored, I think

I have ported Forth to a dozen small microcontrollers and my experience writing much of the bootstrap code in Forth tells me that you are better off coding Forth in a "vertical" style (ie one word per line with stack picture comm
