Forth is a neat little language. Writing a compiler for it is very easy, and yet it isn’t too terrible to write as a user. That is a tough balance to strike.
Do I need to understand lambda calculus to get the most out of this article? I made it to combinators and I’m a bit lost. Should I just read the mentioned “to mock a mockingbird”?
I don’t understand λ calculus, but I was able to make it through the article. It gets less theoretical and more about how Forth works, why it was designed the way it is, and so on. It was a great read!
