In plain words
A Lispy is an embedded Forth interpreter designed for integration into other applications. It combines Lisp-like syntax with Forth's stack-based computational model, making it suitable for developers who need a lightweight scripting language. The project targets programmers working on systems where a small, embeddable interpreter is useful. It launched as an open-source project on GitHub for those interested in alternative language implementations.

I think it's one of the few "computer history" books that has tons of code, but correct me if I'm wrong (I wrote this both to tell a story and to learn :-)). My favorite languages are Smalltalk and Lisp, but as an Emacs user, I've been using the latter for much longer and for my…
