		TurboHaskal on April 7, 2020 \| parent \| context \| on: Jonesforth: Implementing Forth in Assembly I had my third go at Forth this year and I can say it finally clicked, to the point that I ended up buying a license for a commercial compiler for non trivial stuff. If I may hijack this conversation: I'll be trying T3X [0] next, and know about the usual suspects B, BCPL and MCPL. They seem fun but not as malleable as Forth. Can HN recommend other (don't care if obscure) typeless programming languages? [0] https://t3x.org/t3x/index.html
		a7b3fa on April 7, 2020 \| parent \| context \| on: Jonesforth: Implementing Forth in Assembly Jonesforth is insanely cool. The linked mirror seems to be missing 'jonesforth.f'. Maybe try check out this one[1] for the full implementation. I recently tried porting Jonesforth to UEFI[2], so I could run it directly on my hardware without needing an operating system. I was actually surprised by how easy it turned out to be. Okay, admittedly I ended up rushing a bit towards the end, and the final result is very bare-bones - it can do "Hello, World!", Fibonacci numbers, and then that's pretty much it. Still, it was a lot of fun, and I would totally recommend a project like this, especially if you don't usually work with "low-level" development. I also ended up writing a blog post[3] to help people get started writing assembly for UEFI. The best resource is probably the OS Dev wiki, though. It has a ton of great resources.

		9214 on April 7, 2020 \| parent \| context \| on: Jonesforth: Implementing Forth in Assembly For those trying to grok Forth implementation, I cannot recommend Brad Rodriguez' "Moving Forth" [1] series enough. But my favorite one is "1st, 3rd and almost 4th" [2]. Oh, and Loeliger's classic book on the subject [3].

Use Reader View extension[2] to store it as a clean PDF file or screenshot it 3. Use PDF reader to annotate it. 4. Save the file to one of my Knowledge-Base folders[3] 5. Use ripgrep to search it later [4] --- [1]https://app.getpocket.com/ [2]https://add0n.com/chrome-reader-view.html [3]https://github.com/allenleein/knowledge-base [4]https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all
