In plain words

Easy Forth is a small ebook that teaches the Forth programming language, a stack-based language from the 1970s still used in specialized applications today. The guide introduces Forth's unique approach, which lacks traditional syntax, type-checking, and common programming paradigms. It is designed for programmers who want to expand their problem-solving skills by learning a fundamentally different way of thinking about code.

It’s not functional or object oriented, it doesn’t have type-checking, and it basically has zero syntax. It was written in the 70s, but is still used today for certain applications . Why would you want to learn such an odd language? Every new programming language you learn helps you think about problems in new ways. Forth is very easy to learn, but it requires you to think in a different way than you’re used to. That makes it a perfect language to broaden your coding horizons. This book includes a simple implementation of Forth I wrote in JavaScript. It’s by no means perfect,…from skilldrick.github.io
