#forth

RakuAST is dropping in a few day, last I read. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. What's new in other language I find interesting? Zig, Perl, and Forth come to mind. What about some out of the way languages that don't get enough press? #ziglang #perl #forth #rakulang

If anyone wants to learn Forth, there’s a fantastic interactive tutorial here, with inbuilt interpreter. https://skilldrick.github.io/easyforth/ I wanted to use #lisp for retro development, but its memory requirements turn out to be quite complicated in practice for limited devices. #forth is even more bare-bones than Lisp, so it’s piqued my interest. It’s basically a small virtual machine with dictionary lookup that you can program. #programming #retrocomputing #software

"...the street finds its own uses for things" (William Gibson, Burning Chrome) is probably my favorite literary line to quote, regarding use of tech. It's something of a mantra I repeat to remind myself that every technology created, whether through academia or big evil industry, will eventually be co-opted by the people and put to uses never intended. This was the essence of (old school) hacking. My street tools have been #perl #forth #awk and #tcl

Xkcd has just posted this on Forth. https://xkcd.com/3277 #forth #xkcd

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@atax1a/116954648548880708 no, seriously, is there a good #forth for doing this? we don't want to have to write our own :s

Welcome to the on going saga of our Hero's quest to find employment as a (backend) Software Developer. At this moment our Hero contemplates navel lint his dire plight. He scans the online landscape and job boards for signs of employers. He can wield #C with extreme delicacy & finesse; compose functional code of #Erlang; use #Java, #Javascript, #NodeJS adeptly. Even understand the arcana of #Forth and has constructed a #RabbitMQ cluster with careful planning. Yet our intrepid Hero is passed by again and again, like last year's Xmas toys. None glance in his direction as he rises from his chair to play with his faithful dog, Clicquot. Maybe tomorrow will yield new mysteries. http://www.snert.com/resume/ #GetFediHired #FediHire

@richardjh@phpc.social so am i right that #perl and #php and #lua and #lisp and #forth are the only ones left without bigtech dominating and deciding where languages go.
