Used to do more in 386 asm, but now PIC assembly. Everything else I'm looking at is about translating it into Forth... 05:37:43 oh neat. so are you treating forth as a flexible assembler? 05:39:46 zpg: not really. I just want to write in Forth instead of other languages... 05:40:37 neat. 05:40:55 i had the insane idea of trying to implement myself a microlisp this morning, perhaps in C. 05:41:07 i foresee it going terribly wrong and buggily. but might be worth the effort. 05:41:39 zpg: I suppose there are a bunch of music synthesis languages that I've worked in: csound, max/msp, etc. The interest in Forth is replacing these languages with something that reflects my idea of synthesis and composition... 05:42:02 yes, i can see tailoring forth to be a highly efficient, precise and clean way of doing audio processing. 05:42:30 to be honest, i'm so out of practise with x86 assembly, say, that all the programming i've done over the past few years is abstracted from thinking about addresses and stacks, even when i'm using C's pointers. 05:42:38 zpg: I would think it would be instructive, but I believe Quartus' caveat that writing an interpreter doesn't make you better at writing the language. 05:42:48 Forth is therefore a different paradigm from my experience in Smalltalk and Lisp, both of which I love. 05:43:02 zpg: I can imagine... 05:43:07 yeah, there seem to be tonnes of Forth terps. 05:43:28 zpg: I have a toy Lisp/Scheme in Pascal if you'd like (didn't write it) 05:43:34 the microlisp terp i mentioned might just be fun, i think. not sure i can actually do it though. 05:43:47 haven't ever read pascal, but maybe. there was a lisp terp in Squeak too. 05:44:05 zpg: I wouldn't be surprised... 05:44:45 i think just going for dynamic binding, no continuations, simple symbols (scheme style - a symbol can be a data type or a function, rather that the common lisp separation) 05:44:56 -- this might be possible with some amount of ease. 05:45:12 once you've got the basics, you write lisp in lisp anyway. 05:45:20 as with forth i'd imagine. 05:45:28 primitives + forth-in-forth 05:46:00 zpg: Actually, I think I have Kamin's little languages in a C++ port: Lisp, Scheme, Prolog, Smalltalk... 05:46:12 hey neat 05:50:56 zpg: Remind me if I haven't emailed them to you in the next couple of days... 05:52:01 okie doke, shall do. 05:55:19 Maybe someone should ask 05:55:21 http://www.google.com/codesearch 05:55:31 to add support for searching Forth code. 05:58:17 --- join: snowrichard (n=richard@12.18.108.162) joined #forth 05:58:34 hi 06:00:32 wb snowrichard 06:00:49 freshmeat updated with my project on it 06:03:07 That someone is now me. 06:04:20 --- quit: vatic ("*poof*") 06:08:31 --- quit: snowrichard ("Leaving") 06:11:57 --- join: snowrichard (n=richard@12.18.108.162) joined #forth 06:12:11 back 06:43:44 hi 06:46:16 --- join: segher (n=segher@dslb-084-056-176-245.pools.arcor-ip.net) joined #forth 06:54:12 --- join: zpg` (n=user@user-54474d0a.wfd86a.dsl.pol.co.uk) joined #forth 06:58:39 --- join: JasonWoof (n=jason@unaffiliated/herkamire) joined #forth 06:58:39 --- mode: ChanServ set +o JasonWoof 07:07:15 --- quit: zpg (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) 07:14:24 --- join: Quartus (n=trailer@CPE0001023f6e4f-CM013349902843.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) joined #forth 07:14:24 --- mode: ChanServ set +o Quartus 07:29:58 snowrichard, re your paste, why store the temperatures in variables?

Forth is not derived from Lisp, nor is it a Lisp-variant. 14:05:52 forth seems kinda cool, can you do a lot of tricky to program things in it like macro, continuation, oo, closures etc etc? 14:06:09 can you work at a high abstraction level? 14:07:26 is it fun? 14:07:37 Yes, you can. It doesn't have closures, as such, but you can certainly do OOP, and what Lisp calls 'macros'. There are various forms of continuations possible. 14:07:39 I think it's fun. 14:08:02 where are all he forth freeware? 14:08:05 wasn't Forth originally designed to control central air conditioners in mobile homes? 14:08:10 is there a CPAN kinda library? 14:08:12 Slow-cookers, vatic. 14:08:20 Haha!! 14:08:26 ion-beam-weapon, there's Forth stuff all over the place.

That's it's charm. hehe :) 14:11:18 colorForth runs on x86, but not all x86's. 14:11:25 ion-beam-weapon: are you either windows or linux or both? 14:11:31 Well, that's one way to kill off new interest. Send the newbie in search of an undocumented, brutally minimalist system that probably doesn't run on his PC. 14:11:52 gforth is ported pretty much everywere no? 14:12:07 Gforth is available for a bunch o' targets. 14:12:18 That's right Quartus. Start there and eveything is easy on the way down the mountain. 14:12:49 It would be the rare newcomer who found that was a useful entry point into Forth, Ray. Rare to the point of not existing. 14:13:02 I'm the only one. 14:13:18 I'm am the exception to the norm. 14:13:22 I learned it first. 14:13:36 I surely wouldn't recommend it to someone looking to learn about Forth. 14:13:44 I think the first working system I had was f83 on msdos 14:14:12 it had the block editor 14:14:23 Quartus: agreed. Took me ten years. 14:14:57 wouldnt recommend what ? 14:14:59 Not everyday, but ten years. 14:15:05 colorforth 14:15:14 Wouldn't recommend colorForth to a newbie. 14:15:31 I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, in fact, but it'd be a sure-fire way to make a newbie think Forth is a useless toy. 14:15:39 wow 14:15:52 hehe. now you can't say that. The windows version is quite amiable. 14:15:52 this stuff looks way beyond what perl or scheme offer so far 14:15:58 although scheme seems pretty smart 14:16:15 my brother sent me two different versions of 'how to shoot yourself in the foot" in every programming language 14:16:25 Ray_work, do programs in the windows version also start with hex opcodes being comma'd into memory? 14:16:28 foot in self shoot 14:16:35 thats the only one you need :) 14:16:39 Im linux friendly since im an admin 14:16:48 but i run windows at home and on ofice desktop 14:16:50 Quartus: they very well can be. 14:17:01 the macros blocks are, for certain. 14:17:03 Then it's the same animal. 14:17:27 Do you want to learn to program a computer, or an os. I choose computer. 14:17:45 That is not an argument for colorForth. 14:18:16 I've always wanted to know what all the software does on a machine. and now I do. 14:18:20 I want to learn to program a computer. 14:18:25 :) 14:18:28 gforth? 14:18:32 sure 14:19:13 Ray_work, somehow I think there are better and easier ways to glean that knowledge. 14:19:38 .977 the 80's channel 14:19:58 hehe :) 14:20:31 its more like, if you want to write software that nobody can use, write it in colorforth :) 14:20:38 hehe. 14:20:45 If somebody comes by asking about Forth, about the worst thing we could do short of letting PoppaVic talk to them would be to say "Sure! Fire up this floppy, it's an experimental minimalist system with virtually no documentation that probably won't run on your computer, written by a reclusive genius who doesn't teach." 14:20:56 bz brb. 14:21:44 "Oh, and you'll need to have a bunch of pentium opcodes memorized." 14:22:18 the pentiurm reference runs to 1500 pages or so. Memorize:) 14:22:34 quartus lol thats sort of true :P 14:23:11 Evidently the symbolic assembler is considered unnecessary bloat. 14:24:18 And those are just the opcodes that Intel will tell you about. There's a whole series of orange and red books the average mortal never gets to see. Hell, there were ones at IBM even the BIOS developers didn't get to see. 14:24:35 And IBM was a close Intel partner. 14:25:59 It's amazing what can be found hidden in the eddy's of a stream... 14:26:15 like stdout and stderr? 14:26:45 old footware, condom wrappers, dead birds, empty cans of Old Milwaukee, bits of broken glass... 14:27:06 I was thinking of a fish with C.

I don't use it anyway. 16:25:11 unless symantec get him to do all the coding still 16:25:25 me either. but back in the day his defragmenter was second to none 16:25:27 I thought Norton bought all the utilities. 16:25:31 I'm sure he's a figurehead at the company, prob'ly for many years. 16:25:45 i wish more modern defraggers worked as good 16:25:59 no he wrote them and symantec now own them 16:26:21 ill google :) 16:26:44 Defrag, seems sorta straight forward to me. I'm sure I'm missing something... 16:27:13 I don't have a tremendous amount of sorting experiance... 16:27:54 I remember defraging my 486 twice a day. :) 16:27:56 In 1990, Norton sold the company to Symantec; however, the Norton brand name lives on in such Symantec products as Norton AntiVirus, Norton Internet Security, Norton Personal Firewall, Norton SystemWorks (which now contains a current version of the Norton Utilities), Norton AntiSpam, Norton GoBack (formerly Roxio GoBack), Norton PartitionMagic and Norton Ghost. Norton's visage was used on the packaging of all Norton-branded products until 2001. 16:28:43 Raystm2: why would you defrag that often? 16:29:19 He most decidedly did not write Ghost; I know the guy who did. 16:29:31 nor did he write partition magci 16:29:33 magic 16:29:45 crc: I had so much stuff that was compressed on that 200 meg HDD ( infact I think I had as much utility as I do on this p4) that i'd have to defrag when I closed a program environment, and start another one. 16:29:47 they just put his name on it so it would sell 16:31:27 --- join: TreyB_ (n=trey@cpe-66-87-192-27.tx.sprintbbd.net) joined #forth 16:31:44 --- quit: TreyB (Read error: 131 (Connection reset by peer)) 16:32:47 crc: I had a batch menu system that I designed to uncompress a program and run the current situation, then when I was done, the batch menu would allow me to save the current situation. compress it, defrag the drive, which was very fast being that most stuff didn't need defragging. 16:33:13 But room was at a premium then. 16:33:33 I still have all of my old harddrives, compressed on this one. 16:33:44 the thing i liked about norton defrag was that it would move ALL directory entries to the start of the disk. 16:33:52 coo. 16:34:06 i cannot defrag my xp partition because it has THOUSANDS of directory entreis scattered accross its entire length 16:34:11 and NO defrag will move them 16:34:15 and its not an ntfs partition 16:34:39 erm. 16:34:45 with enough space it should defrag 16:34:50 it just needs alot of space 16:34:51 like 16:34:57 if its that bad, half the partition free 16:36:18 I bet i havn't defragged in a year. 16:36:43 by the time i need to defrag, ive abused my windows install enough that its better to just reinstall :D 16:37:25 but i do occasionally defrag 16:37:36 if i happen to remember 16:37:39 i let it do it over night 16:44:31 crc: I saw your Paste of the Gtk code. That's comming alone nicely. 16:44:57 Raystm2: is it pasted on the retro site? 16:45:29 two examples are 16:46:25 http://retroforth.net/paste/?id=201 and http://retroforth.net/paste/?id=202 16:46:39 :) 16:48:31 crc: the gtk.rx is a wrap of syscalls into gtk? 16:48:53 no, it's the imports/wrappers over the gtk+ library 16:49:30 so you are interacting with the function from gtk+ library? 16:49:39 functions* 16:50:55 yes 16:51:03 crc: that is exciting the you can call or use C functions with forth 16:51:14 s/the/that 16:51:52 It is exciting. This sorta puts me in mind of Hypercard. 16:53:19 the irc client was nice but the syscalls was very low level operations :) 16:54:46 crc: how do you make the interface with C functions? 16:55:28 I have a couple of assembly routines that wrap over dlopen()/dlsym() (in libdl.so on Linux, or libc.so on BSD) 16:55:55 crc port those to isforth :) 16:55:58 they map in the library and functions, and create named words for imported functions 16:56:00 oh! exiting 16:56:25 exciting* 16:56:26 I440r: can't. libdl.so requires libc.so, which requires the basic C runtime stuff.... 16:56:37 bleh 16:56:45 ok 16:57:06 --- nick: fhhuk-barnikle -> fireball-spell 16:57:07 ok 16:57:12 can forth be used to do web stuff 16:57:18 and make fast apps? 16:57:27 stuff like that? 16:57:39 is there a spreadsheet in forth? 16:57:43 there are forths that are pretty fast (not as much as C) 16:57:43 or a webserver? 16:57:47 yes 16:57:51 free? 16:57:57 yes 16:57:59 for gForth 16:58:00 is forth free in general? 16:58:03 oh/ 16:58:13 where do I find the gforth webserver? 16:58:44 http://wiki.forthfreak.net/index.cgi?MiniSpreadsheet 16:58:44 http://wiki.forthfreak.net/index.cgi?ForthNetworkCode 16:58:57 there is a lot of good stuff at wiki.forthfreak.net 17:00:38 crc: why would forth be as fast as C 17:00:51 --- quit: I440r ("Leaving") 17:01:09 C compilers do a lot more optimizing than most Forths do 17:01:46 ah I see 17:02:53 crc: have you completed you tutorial and I hope you are not feeling tired today 17:05:39 erider: I'm still working on it 17:06:04 you can look at http://retroforth.org/doc/tutorial/content.html which is the most complete one thus far 17:06:29 * crc confesses to being somewhat tired; it has been a long week. 17:06:50 * erider understands 17:09:52 erider: have you ever seen the tutorial for MVPforth? 17:10:08 no 17:11:56 http://www.theforthsource.com/guide.html 17:12:00 I think that's it. 17:12:13 I thougth it was pretty good, when I was starting. 17:12:55 that is it. 17:13:03 thanks 17:13:24 now do forth programmers use it for most stuff 17:13:34 or do they not use it except when doing some small things 17:13:38 http://win32forth.sourceforge.net/ 17:13:44 this guy apparently left for java 17:14:10 I tend to write in various languages, as necessary 17:15:07 which guy? development of Win32Forth is still happening 17:20:02 crc: do you use a lot of assembly in you forth code? 17:20:22 not anymore 17:21:33 I prefer to code in forth itself 17:22:13 I think that forth makes a decent replacement for assembler, in many, but not all, cases. 17:22:24 but you said that you used a assembly call to wrap the gtk+ into your forth code 17:23:15 erider: I think the operative phrase there is 'a lot of code' 17:23:21 crc: do you use flat assembler 17:23:37 a couple assm instructions isn't alot. 17:24:33 erider: yes 17:24:37 hmm 17:24:45 so do forth users use thier own tools? 17:24:53 I know perlers use perl for damn near everything 17:25:03 forth seems to have features perl does not 17:26:32 mhm 17:26:38 crc: is flat different from using an assembler such as nasm? 17:27:12 flat is much more powerful and easy 17:27:15 oops 17:27:16 im in bed 17:27:19 good night 17:27:19 fasm has nicer macro abilities 17:27:25 'night arke 17:28:08 and can directly output executable/relocatable ELF and PE files 17:30:03 hmm 17:33:42 goodnight arke. 17:35:24 crc: what do you use assembler for? assembly still to be very difficult to use to develop sizable programs 17:35:41 I use it for the basic core of my forth 17:36:01 ah ok 17:36:15 most of the forth is written over this 17:37:25 and the other part is written in C? 17:37:42 depends 17:37:50 RetroForth has assembly and forth parts 17:37:59 RxForth has assembly, forth, and C parts 17:40:19 what is rxforth 17:40:26 nearly total computer interface there with RxForth. 17:40:53 --- quit: fireball-spell (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 17:42:50 rxforth is my other forth (for Linux and BSD systems). It shares a common core with retro, but is nicer to work with under *nix systems 17:43:39 it makes use of the standard C library, and plays more nicely with existing libraries, etc than retro currently does 17:44:11 It's going to be, heck already is, sweet. 17:44:33 It's a fun read. 17:44:54 I haven't enjoyed reading code this much since Enth/Flux came out. 17:48:00 crc: well I'm on linux and I have retro install and I have to install flat to compile the source because I have a 64bit system 17:49:46 so should I get rxforth? 17:50:48 neither retro nor rxforth cannot be built as a native 64-bit application yet 17:51:17 I have retro build on my system 17:51:24 built 17:52:04 I can send you the rxforth source tree. You'll need gcc and make to build it (the assembly part is prebuilt) 17:52:39 I have gcc and make its pre installed ;-) 17:53:02 --- quit: Quartus (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 17:53:31 I'm attempting to send it via dcc 17:56:54 did you get it? 17:57:54 got it 17:57:58 thanks 17:58:00 good :) 18:10:44 --- join: Quartus (n=trailer@CPE0001023f6e4f-CM013349902843.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) joined #forth 18:10:44 --- mode: ChanServ set +o Quartus 18:16:13 goodnight 18:16:19 ciao 18:22:57 chao 18:24:33 --- quit: Raystm2 ("Should have paid the bill.") 18:27:27 --- join: Raystm2 (n=NanRay@adsl-69-149-58-83.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net) joined #forth 18:58:51 --- quit: Anbidian () 19:07:44 Raystm2: ping 19:39:23 --- quit: madwork (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out)) 19:59:17 --- join: MacVince (n=vince@modemcable006.81-37-24.mc.videotron.ca) joined #forth 19:59:39 --- part: MacVince left #forth 20:20:10 --- quit: erider ("I don't sleep because sleep is the cousin of death!") 22:07:11 --- quit: neceve ("Leaving") 22:15:48 --- quit: segher (Read error: 145 (Connection timed out)) 22:16:27 --- join: segher (n=segher@dslb-084-056-178-186.pools.arcor-ip.net) joined #forth 23:31:49 --- join: zpg (n=user@user-54418075.lns1-c7.dsl.pol.co.uk) joined #forth 23:32:23 morning. 23:32:46 hi zpg 23:34:26 hi Quartus 23:37:45 --- join: larsb (i=lars@1-1-14-10a.kt.gbg.bostream.se) joined #forth 23:59:59 --- log: ended forth/06.10.05
