Phorth – A Forth-like language on the Python VM

In plain words

Phorth is a programming language that implements Forth-style syntax and semantics while running on the Python virtual machine. It is designed for developers interested in stack-based languages or those seeking an alternative approach to computation within the Python ecosystem. The language combines Forth's postfix notation and stack-oriented paradigm with Python's underlying runtime infrastructure.

  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.
