@snacks i have 2 different things in mind. the riscv assembly one is still supposed to happen but i need a more general purpose systems programming one so i can escape the foul demon that is "c"

@snacks similar control structure changes as reforth. quotations would be nice as well, maybe take inspiration from hex in that area i find its design pretty elegant

@coolbean never looked at reforth, the way factor uses quotations always felt simpler than what forth is doing tbh

@snacks forth doesnt use quotations with any sort of standardisation


i like how min and hex do it. that guy is onto something

@coolbean also, regular forth already has anonymous words, they're just clunky as is

@snacks there is no regular forth. the whole point of forth is making your own to suit your specific situation

@coolbean but in ans forth you can't really just inline one of them unless that word gets called exactly once or you have a memory leak

@coolbean should just have compilation bahaviour to compile the word and then return the execution token during execution smh
