You jest, but I did end up doing just that in my implementation ( https://github.com/romforth/romforth ) trying to shoehorn a Forth implementation into a MSP430 device with just 2K…

So you had your heart set on running Forth on a microcontroller with 512 bytes of ROM and 64 bytes of RAM? Here you go!

This one boots from the parallel port: https://github.com/climatex/BootLPT (more details here https://boginjr.com/it/sw/dev/bootlpt-86/ )

It will be interesting to see how much further this can be taken.

romforth is a dialect of Forth which is meant to be easily portable. The IBM 1130 holds a special place in Forth history since it was one of the earliest systems on which Chuck Moo…

Hello HN, Tree Walk Format (TWF) is a flat file format to describe your family tree. It allows you to describe your family tree in one (or more) files which are editable using your…

Allow me to brag about romforth ( https://github.com/romforth/romforth ) which I ported to the "3c" Padauk and can run on really small rom/ram microcontrollers. Caveats: - tested o…

Feel free to check out https://github.com/olvwm/xview/ as well. I wanted to run olvwm on Linux (when it went out of support on Ubuntu 16.04) and I'd managed to get this running on …

By that metric, my implementation of romforth for x86 clocks in at just 12 bytes (see https://github.com/romforth/romforth/x86/forth.s ) The "bug" in the counting used here is that…

I've been faithfully using the same window manager [olvwm] for ~30 years and counting. In fact the decision about which [distro] I pick for daily use is totally dependent on whethe…

To build minimal linux systems, I've found Minimal Linux Live [^1] and Floppinux [^2] useful. There was a list of build steps for 486 [^3] as well, in case you are targeting older …

Something like an automated proof assistant to help annotate the stack while coding would be awesome, but I'm not aware of any. These might be famous last words, but if switching b…

I have ported Forth to a dozen small microcontrollers and my experience writing much of the bootstrap code in Forth tells me that you are better off coding Forth in a "vertical" st…
