forthy2 – a higher level Forth-remix in C++

In plain words

Forthy2 is a Forth-inspired programming language implemented in C++. It provides a higher-level interpretation of Forth's stack-based approach for users interested in exploring alternative programming paradigms. The project is designed for hobbyists and developers curious about language design and implementation. It's available as open-source code on GitHub for those wanting to experiment with stack-based computing concepts or study how such languages can be built.

  I built a minimal Forth-like stack interpreter library in C2025 · ▲47

  This weekend I created stacklib.h - a single-header library that brings Forth-style stack operations to C. It implements a basic interpreter with: - Stack operations (push/pop/dup/swap/over/drop) - Arithmetic (+, -, *, /) - Output (., emit, cr) - Stack inspection (.s, depth) Example usage: Stack s; stack_init(&s); dict_init(); exec(&s, "10 20 + ."); // Prints "30" exec(&s, "1 2 3 4 .s"); // Shows stack contents The library is self-contained, requires no dependencies, and handles basic error checking. It was inspired by wanting to understand…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
