An awesome way to get things done at the level of the machine. Here will be applying self-extension during runtime. Sure a imperatively dangerous task, but who cares what people have said about this topic over the years. Look at the state of things!
A codebase to reflect the paradigm established by Leo Brodie in the 1981 book Starting Forth.
The goal here is to establish a new paradigm for forth by echoing several goals:
- It should be a model, i.e. it should define all the implementation-dependent things.
- It should become standard, i.e. widely accepted and used. I proffer a robotic personality.
- Minimalist yet should provide for all the things that are considered necessary now and foresee what is on the horizon.
- A predictive capability.
- Anticipate.
- Establish the paradigms of ideal.
- Be wickedly fast.
- OOP. There's an object oriented package, written in almost plain ANS Forth.
The encompassing of forth with ideal. What are some interesting features-of-interest?
- Ability to walk-through a digital board and diagnose the problem, indicating the steps to repair
Use Wine in Debian Bookworm to run the sF development environment with access to the board. COMports in Linux are:
dmesg | grep tty where it will be seen:
[ 0.000000] printk: console [tty0] enabled
[ 1.225657] 0000:00:16.3: ttyS0 at I/O 0x4090 (irq = 17, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
[ 5.077299] systemd[1]: Created slice system-getty.slice - Slice /system/getty.
[ 1129.168748] usb 4-1.2.3.2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 1129.169615] usb 4-1.2.3.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB1
When running the self-test routines in arrayForth, run this code from here:
<COM> SELFTEST
Added the keys to the registry, wine regedit maybe not right. So can investigate, but serial devices attached but not correctly mapped to Windows:
// ./COM16 PORT can't open it!
Restart wine - wineboot -r
Brought over here from a MacOS 9.2.2 program, in a deep archive. A great place to get started with polyForth?
It is so. Certianly.
