Forth is the best programming language, what can I say?

>>62292232
It's a bit too stacky.

You aren't autistic enough

if forth was not good then why is forth such a hacker language?

What is the best places to learn Forth? Any book recommendations?

>>62293918
Here's a good place to try it out:

no

Lol as if c was not asm--

>>62292232
IMO fifth is better.

Apparently I've been using a bastardized version of Forth whenever I pick up my HP calculator.

I'm not sure where Forth fits in the modern world, however. Its strength seems to be in controlling crucial but under-powered hardware, but these days computing power is so ridiculously cheap that there's no point.

It seems like it really could be good for artificial intelligence... I'm a diehard Lisper, but I'll have to look into it at some point. Thanks anon.

Forth is maximum comfort for autists

If assembler is like diving straight in and c is like wearing an ultrathin condom, then forth is like wearing a thin sheet of silk.

>>62294176
There really isn't any true version of Forth - you make what you need and use it
Building Forth from assembly language is extremely straightforward
Forth is a mindset, a type of language perfect for bespoke architectures where porting a C compiler over is too much trouble for the task at hand.

>>62292232
HE'S A NIGGER

any decent forth implementations that have a standard library that's actually useful?

I can see this language having some uses in certain applications but only if there are decent and relatively small runtimes for it.

>>62294442
Because that's what Forth is. The inventor of Forth is still alive, look at his profile, see the kind of project he works on, you'll understand the Philosophy of Forth. It's a micro language you build up on the architecture you're working on then use that to further grow the system, making good use of what your system gives you. To use Forth on a system already built up to the point of a general purpose operating system is not a conventional fit.
If you want to play in stack concatenative language concepts but with a large standard library then I suppose Factor fulfils that.

More like FOURTH BEST

>>62294498
LMAO wut?

Having a runtime that provides basic shit like IO is too much to ask for? I seriously hope you don't expect me to freaking . and key for every God damn byte I need to read and write out.

>>62294573
Consider Forth for projects such as hydraulic actuated arms for spot welds on car production lines.
For software on a general purpose computer and its operating system, I suppose you could use a Forth implementation, but it seems a strange choice. I am aware of gForth and Swift Forth. One's dead and the other's nonfree.

then automate it you brainlet

Forth is basically designed for multicore computing. How can you argue with that?

>>62292232
I'd say it's only fourth best

Let me correct you fucking brainlets.

At the time when Chuck Moore was writing forth there was no such thing as a fourth generation programming language and forth was Chuck Moore's idea of a fourth gen programming language.

So he was going to name it fourth on his computer but there was a five character limit so he named it forth instead.

No problemz bro

People say learn c to learn how a computer works. People also say assembler will give you a closer understanding of a computer than c.

Forth is closer to assembler than c is. It'll give you a closer understanding than to the machine than c will.

The difference is that forth is way easier to approach than assembler is.
