Chuck Moore should release his colorForth OKAD EDA suite into the public domain as soon as possible. He is not getting any younger and things like Google's Skywater collaboration could really help in popularizing low-overhead self-contained systems.
I agree that I would like to see the colorForth suite in the public domain. At the same time, there are some additional things I want from a prospective language for doing low-overhead systems. I’ve been working on a semi-Forth inspired language and IDE to accompany it, but my hope is it will appeal to a modern audience with additional features, while still maintaining the ability to do extremely customizable systems as the programmer requires.
That’s great, I didn’t know the implementation of colorForth was In the public domain. The OKAD layout stuff would be really cool to see, but I don’t have a practical use for it, but I’m always looking for language implementations to dissect.
