I'm reminded of my good old Forth times (6502 on Commodore PET), and I'm glad that Forth gets the increasing attention which it actually deserves.<p>I don't know if there is any other programming environment at all where you can have a extensible programming language, editor, compiler, interpreter, debugger, libs, and interactive shell in a few KB.
This is fantastic! Forth's simplicity is a great fit for exploratory programming on resource-constrained systems, and I'm a fan of anything homoiconic.<p>Maybe one day I'll get my dream of having a forth or lisp with the type system of haskell.
This is great work. I was expecting a toy Forth, but this one is pretty serious. I was happy to see quotations, immediate words, and Factor-style combinators.
I am wondering why the team from mbed has not made an attempt to make ESP8266 compliant with mbed. Yes, I understand that the architecture is totally different but just that I like mbed so much so that I want to see it used in more hardware.
Why can't we get Rust for the ESP8266? :( I really dislike C, I'd love a higher-level language. As great as MicroPython is, the interpreter needs too much RAM, and I think Rust would be a great alternative.
