This is a simple example of the level of Java inter-op bjForth currently provides.

I'm thrilled to announce the release of bjForth v0.0.3 🎉

There's been a a heap of improvements and additions compared to the last release.

What's best is that they are automatically tested every time a change is pushed 😎

I dare you to Grab the latest tarball and hack yourself some serious Forth 😄

After nearly 2 years of work, I'm excited to release the first version of bjForth, featuring partial JONESFORTH compatibility and initial Java interop.

Grab it and start hacking: https://github.com/bahmanm/bjforth/releases/tag/v0.0.2

PS: bjForth is a Forth (indirect threaded) written entirely in Java and its execution model is influenced by that of JONESFORTH.

Some weeks ago I installed ESP 32 Forth to an esp32 using a web page that did the entire installation. Now I can't find that page anymore. I am able to install from the Arduino IDE but I am really curious about that other method.

Any idea where this web page is or was?

Forth, its history and the computer science ideas which form its foundations explained in a light and humorous style sprinkled with links to interesting resources on the web.

If look you look closely, it's a little Forth-like interpreter under the covers...

I remember being quite delighted when I discovered that SUN servers had FORTH right there in the firmware. I wrote many a little easter egg in there. I do wonder if anyone ever found any of my strange dictionary words.

Did anyone use any FORTH that was in any of the other OpenFirmware implementations? I only used the SUN one
