lina is the Linux native (= c-less) version of ciforth (common Intel
|
|
Forth), an interpret environment and compiler for Forth. It is
|
|
(large and by) compliant with the ISO Forth standard; the CORE
|
|
wordset is fully implemented. The small, classic, indirect threaded
|
|
kernel contains the essential, i.a. file access and exceptions. Its
|
|
power is multiplied by an extensive source library, that add i.a.
|
|
a decompiler and integrated 386 assembler. It is fully self
|
|
contained; if you want to understand a compiler in all details,
|
|
this is your best, if not only, choice. ciforth sports the highest
|
|
documentation to binary proportion in the EDP industry, barring
|
|
m4 on Coherent.
|
|
|
|
For nicer command-line experience (electives loaded instantly,
|
|
history, cursor keys etc.) you may want to add the following line
|
|
to your ~/.bashrc file:
|
|
|
|
alias lina='rlwrap lina -e'
