 | | Forths extensibility, structure, modularity and very simple syntax are key attributes that give the programmer freedom to structure solutions for problems in ways that programmers of other languages cannot understand or attempt. | | | Forth's most important feature has little to do with the fact that it is a stack language, it has instead to do with the way it interacts as a whole with the user. | | | Forth based software was used in a custom networked environment, to burn-in disk drives for 48 hours, and print burn-in results. |

| | Forth |
| | Forth has been in the firmware of Sun Microsystem's workstations and computers for a number of years. | | | Forth is probably a transition between 3rd and 4th generation languages in that it allows you to CREATE a language which is suited for your task. | | | Forth is a stack-oriented language and interactive environment. |

| | comp.lang.forth FAQ: General Information (1 of 7) |
| | The name FORTH was intended to suggest software for the fourth (next) generation computers, which Moore saw as being characterized by distributed small computers. | | | A Forth system running on the bare hardware is also known as a native system (in contrast to a hosted system, which runs on an OS). | | | Although invented in 1970, Forth became widely known with the advent of personal computers, where its high performance and economy of memory were attractive. |

| | Slashdot Chuck Moore Holds Forth |
| | Forth is different; in Forth you don't transform the problem into a form which fits the language; instead, you transform the language into a form that fits the solution domain. | | | The prolific Forth afficionado Philip Koopman did some work on combinator reduction related to Forth but seems not to have followed through with implementations that realize the potential for massive parallelism that were pursued in the early 1980s by adherents of Backus's Formal Functional Programming paradigm. | | | One of the offshoots of that challenge was work on massive parallelism based on combinator calculus a branch of mathematics that is far closer to Forth's formalism than parameter list systems (which are more or less lambda calculus derivatives). |
