Wonderful piece by Tiffany Ng about the Forth programming language ...
... and Collapse OS, an operating system designed to run on low-power, minimally-capable microprocessors

@clive FORTH was the secret sauce in HMSL, the Hierarchical Music Specification Language. That was using a FORTH dialect that was object oriented and optimized for the Amiga's Motorola 68000 series of CPUs. My program RGS was written in FORTH. My own "little language" Brooklynese is also a stack based reverse Polish language. Ask me about MOTHBOL, which was a refinement I made of the language TRAC-64, implemented on a Norwegian NORD-10 computer running the MOSS-AMORAL OS.
I love the name "Brooklynese"!
@clive @clive
Broolynese was stack oriented tokens like FORTH. These tokens were called "woids" since FORTH uses "words".
I named all the parts of that project after places in Brooklyn: Prospect was the main server - and in fact used Prospect Heights' zip code as its main TCP port, Verrazano , Park Slope, Red Hook, and Flatbush were also in use.
right on!!
