+TheBF Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 On off the chance someone else here would want to see this here ya go. I just found this link on comp.lang.forth and I am blown away. Makes me feel pretty humble. David Smith wrote an ANS Forth system for himself, for intel 64 bit architecture and: "We use none of the usual tools from the world of C, not even an assembler. SmithForth is implemented in two source files: SForth.dmp contains a primitive Forth system in 1000 hand-written bytes of annotated machine code. system.fs contains 1000 lines of system Forth to complete a standard Forth system."
