#3There isn't much activity on Github. The last release was nine years ago and all the code contributions are from a single person.

How's this important for a project which is obviously an experiment in PLs field? You either interested in such things, or not, nothing else applies.

#5Interesting idea. Though maximally-simple claim doesn't look warranted to me. It feels more complex than most of Forth incarnations.

I don't know, maybe someone wanted to try writing a program in it, which seems not irrelevant to programming languages. To most people, even an experimental programming language isn't just an objet d'art; it's more like an ornate tennis racket, and it doesn't look like this one will ever be strung.

Thank you. Aptly written. Even if the idea is fantastic, if not much happens for years, it's almost safe to assume that the product is sort of dead. But it kind of depends! An old academic language like Standard ML might not get a lot of action on its repo (actually gets updated frequently), I'd still use it as it forms the basis of several successor languages.

There’s a Hello World on the page
