Forth 200x Standardisation Committee. — 13th November 2013. — 257 p.Forth is a language for direct communication between human beings and machines. Forth was invented by Charles Moore to increase programmer productivity without sacrificing machine efficiency. Using natural-language diction and machine-oriented syntax, Forth provides an economical, productive environment for interactive compilation and execution of programs. Forth also provides low-level access to computer-controlled hardware, and the ability to extend the language itself. This extensibility allows the language to be quickly expanded and adapted to special needs and different hardware systems. Forth provides for highly interactive program development and testing.
