This has showed up here a few times before (example):

I'm always interested in hearing people's reactions to Forth though and every now and then you get a cool new story on these threads, so I'm not complaining.

Right. And once again, you’ll also notice that no one is actually coding anything useful in Forth.
johnisgood•9m ago
In Factor though, they do.

It looks like it's still being developed, but I feel like the 0.1 version number hasn't changed in 10 years. What cool projects are people making?

This is a great resource and running in the browser is great for fast feedback. Thanks for sharing!

I just started learning Forth a month or so ago, and I found this video from Andreas Wagner[1] fun to watch.

If anyone goes through OP's book and find yourself wanting to see Forth in action, I recommend the video.

Glad to see Forth on HN today!

For anyone who likes playing with small experimental projects, I once made a minimal, esoteric, stack-based, postfix canvas colouring language inspired by Forth and Tixy: https://susam.net/fxyt.html

>> The thing that separates Forth from most other languages is its use of the stack. In Forth, everything revolves around the stack

I mean, that's pretty much every language. The main difference is that the programmer's access to it is unconstrained by things like method call definitions.
