i see 22:39:27 my ?; looks like exactly that 22:40:19 : ?; ifnot r> drop then ; 22:41:14 conditional EXIT 22:42:57 * kc5tja nods 22:43:31 Feel free to add any other you feel appropriate -- Wikis are free-form, and can be edited by anyone, at any time. 22:43:58 i think it gotta be more dedicated and more agressive in 'marketing' 22:44:37 like www.forthideas.org, banners, regular postings of new ideas to progging newsgroups 22:46:23 coz some ideas may be usefool in other lang's, and this will promote Forth thinking 22:46:55 for ex., your keybindings may be good in Perl also, via EVAL 22:47:48 not to say one-liners, if syntax allows 22:50:24 usefool = useful 22:50:39 i'm just kidding :))) 22:50:42 * kc5tja nods 22:50:55 I'll place other patterns up there as I get the time. 22:51:23 i'll put my REP rite now, out of source i sent to I440r 22:51:31 I found that the source of VIBE 2.1 is up on the site too (I'm currently up to 2.2 personally), so when I upgrade the source to 2.2, I'll include some discussion on some of the patterns I used in writing it. 22:54:11 how can i add a chapter, naming it 'Terse control structures' ? 22:56:16 Edit the page, and name your new chapter TerseControlStructures <-- the Wiki automagically recognizes names that fit that pattern and auto-hyperlinks them. 22:56:29 If the page doesn't exist, that's OK -- the first time you click on the link, it'll create the page for you. 23:04:14 btw, one-liner style gotta be mentioned too 23:05:10 well its time for zzz 23:05:14 nite nite :) 23:05:18 --- quit: I440r () 23:06:01 Perhaps, but not as a design pattern -- one-versus-many lines per word is an implementation issue, not an overall design issue. 23:06:19 Perhaps there ought to be an implementation pattern section?
