Talk:FORTH Boot Disk/@comment-130.234.5.137-20121117230755

Should someone want to find out more about FORTH, there is the other wiki. In short it is one of the few higher level programming languages that is simple enough to have been implemented even in microcontrollers. Considering the target processor in this case is a slightly modified MOS 6502 it is quite reasonable choise if you want to maintain any kind of performance without resorting to assembly.

The strength (and weakness ;-) of FORTH is that very little is defined at the beginning. However it is almost infinitely extensible.

HTH. HAND.
