| Forth is a programming language and philosophy. It provides the programmer with down-to-the-metal control over the hardware as well as the ability to abstract upwards limited only by the programmer's skill and imagination. Thus, it is an ideal way to program a computer at any level from the lowest levels of machine kernel and device driver up to the highest levels of application software packages. Other programming languages are also general-purpose in nature, but Forth is very different from them in that it is a language without a syntax! (A unique concept that takes getting used to, but once the programmer is used to it, the power of operating without syntax becomes readily apparent.) Recent developments in the Forth community include the adoption of the ANSI Standard as well as far greater growth of the community itself because of the popularization of the Internet. |
| This webring is dedicated to the creator of Forth, Mr. Charles Moore, the second Forth programmer, Ms. Elizabeth Rather, and to the members of the Forth Interest Group community. To add your site to this webring, click the "Webring Form" link on the left side of this page and fill out the form. Hopefully, the community will continue to see explosive growth in the coming years! This webring site is powered by webserver software, zHTTP, that was written in zForth (what else?) by your's truely. The Forth Webring is a ringed list of websites who's webmasters have asked the ringmaster to include them in the ring. This makes for easier topical browsing on the Internet. Please visit the Forth Webring often, for just as the Internet itself, it is always changing! (In other words, we're always "under construction".) |
