Forth Reviews

Forth Description

The computer language was designed to program embedded and real-time applications. It is now available for development on Windows, DOS, as well as Unix variants that include macOS. Cross-compilers for Forth, which are commercially available, produce highly optimized code that runs on a variety microprocessors. They also prove themselves to be very adept in custom-hardware environments. Forth is a high level programming language. However, most versions include an assembly language. Software tools are often included in fourth-system providers to allow application code to make the most of system resources. Forth is interactive. It allows you to develop modular, well-tested code in a shorter time frame. It can also lead to very concise code. Programmers aren't used to languages that are concise, direct, and (apparently) simple. Forth is known for its speed of development, lean code and outstanding performance.
