"General purpose" in front of the rest makes some sense. 18:13:46 Well... 18:13:55 It is hard to call it "general purpose". 18:14:35 I'm aware of why. "gp" works for me, but I'd have to put it another way when asked by someone else. 18:15:16 Consider something like Old English. 18:15:34 You have words to deal with hunt and war, sure. 18:15:49 But you don't have many words to deal with life as it is now. 18:16:41 If you know Crichton's "Timeline", you should understand what it means. 18:31:53 Forth is a general purpose language which is used to design DSPs. 18:32:15 DSLs rther. 18:32:17 x.x 18:32:42 ...And all those DSL's look so Forth. 18:32:56 You could tell that about C as well. 18:33:28 Eh, you cannot define custom control structures in C. 18:33:37 But I suppose one can argue that forth has no control structures. 18:33:55 I'm yet to see DSL designed in Forth that has different syntax. 18:34:13 Ok. 18:34:14 For CL there exist Maxima, Axiom, R-Lisp. 18:34:27 All in (relatively) frequent use. 18:38:03 Say, it's not a problem to introduce something like crontab or AWK. 18:38:15 But that's not a rocket science in C either. 18:38:50 You can search the web and find FSA and coroutine support code around. 18:39:14 Not tons of them though, yet multiple implementations. 18:39:54 Still this is very primitive "DSLs." 18:54:26 --- quit: Al2O3 (Quit: Al2O3) 19:14:54 --- quit: ASau (Remote host closed the connection) 19:17:32 --- join: ASau (~user@95-26-92-70.broadband.corbina.ru) joined #forth 19:22:40 --- quit: ASau (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) 19:26:07 --- join: ASau (~user@95-26-92-70.broadband.corbina.ru) joined #forth 19:58:32 --- quit: roarde (Quit: Leaving.) 21:50:46 --- quit: ASau (Remote host closed the connection) 21:52:37 --- join: ASau (~user@95-26-92-70.broadband.corbina.ru) joined #forth 22:57:12 --- quit: martinhex (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) 23:15:55 --- join: martinhex (~mjc@93-97-29-243.zone5.bethere.co.uk) joined #forth 23:22:14 --- quit: martinhex (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) 23:59:59 --- log: ended forth/10.12.18
