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?

Here's a good place to try it out:

>asm++

no

Lol as if c was not asm--

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.

two words

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 user.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

If you can't understand forth you're just fucking stupid

5/10

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

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.

Learn your fucking history bojangles

How to learn forth?

Dear user,

read this:

Thank you.

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.
