What other good forth Forums are there?
|
| |
I was wondering what other good Forth forums are out there?
I was interested in starting a Forth hardware forum or mailing list
for the misc community, but seeing the misbehavior that has grown
around here for many years, an alternative forum is needed. It has
reached the point that the dishonest perpetuaters have become... more »

OOP and prime sieves
|
| |
Albert van der Horst commented on my parallel FIB posting and said that I should work on a program that actually does something useful: ...
Because it is mutually recursive, benchpin is not easy to adapt to processors where communication between nodes is vastly slower than computational speed. Therefore... more »

Another OOP thread; everything on the stack is an object
|
| |
The "current object" thread and my investigations on a prototype based
object model for Forth has led me to think that it should be possible
to construct a stack based "everything is an object" language. Assume
a stack where each entry is an object (possibly implemented as some
form of closure pointer), and where every word (including numbers and... more »

LPC1114 Serial Init translated from c to forth issue
|
| |
Sorry, many don't translate c to forth and many don't do arm and even if you did both this particular ARM chip is unlikely but I have a FORTH that needs to talk!
The LPC1114 is from NXP and they have a usb stick eval board and a eclipse development ide supporting c/c++.
Their example serial code works, using interrupts. My FORTH needs to talk polled i/o. The serial init routine is what I translated, without the interrupt part, and I added send a char at the end. This doesn't work.... more »

Hanging out with “We the Geeks”
|
| |
Note: Watch the first 'We the Geeks" Hangout on Thursday, May 16, at 2:00 p.m. EDT on WhiteHouse.gov and on the White House Google+ page. You can join the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag #WeTheGeeks.
On May 16th, the White House is kicking off “We the Geeks,” a new series of Google+ Hangouts to highlight the future of science, technology, and innovation here in the United States. Topics such as commercial space exploration, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, turning science fiction to science fact, and others will be discussed with Administration officials and key private sector contributors.... more »

vectors as basic data type
|
| |
Hello,
I see a general utility in matrix computations and have therefore gone over to use a fixed vector type as a base for my vm design. Does anyone know if there is a Forth system that implements the same approach (please, I know some APL inspired extensions to ANSI forth. This is not I'm searching for) ?... more »

fig-FORTH model and editor
|
| |
After it was noted in another thread that the model was missing from the
documents on the fig web site, I dug out my copy and scanned it. I
posted links to the results and notified the FORTH Interest Group and it
has now found a permanent home there:

Global Warming - Forth as answer
|
| |
Forth is probably the greenest language - helping to reduce the heat!
Today I got an Editor's Note from "Dr. Dobb's Update": Dealing With All Our Stuff There it says: "In 1961, Rolf Landauer theorized that there was a fundamental connection between the processing of information and the production of heat. Just last year, researchers at the University of Augsburg in Germany appear to have proven Landauer's theory. To reset a single bit, they showed, generates a minimum amount of heat; and the point is that this is a fundamental limit set not by the design of devices, but by the nature of information itself. Heat dissipation in computer chips is not merely a matter of mechanics, but is inherent in the processing of information."... more »
