I just stumbled on the forth world and am trying to get an overview of existing implementations 01:22:27 --- quit: goingretro (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) 01:27:16 heya gr8 ... at last count, there were 9.74 billion separate implementations. :) 01:27:28 seems like most Forth development has stopped since ~2005. why is that? 01:27:40 ah, hey :) 01:29:45 hrm not sure that's treu. chuck moore started a company to make forth chips... although at least one of the big forth advocates died. 01:29:59 #forth is fairly active. 01:32:09 I mean, I've been reading about different Forth-OSs and most of them ended being updated somewhere between 2005 and 2008. Retro may be an exception 01:42:32 it's semi-actively maintained. 01:42:39 so is colorforth/arrayforth. 01:43:18 i don't know much about the various ansi forth implementations, but people still use them. 01:43:36 maybe not so much in the OS department except for embedded devices though. 01:43:53 i know there's a forth used in the bootloader for OLPC 01:45:20 right I've heard that 01:46:03 what brings you to retroforth, in particular? 01:51:56 Google I think. I was interested in the OS part of forth, and this is one of the few IRC channels that somehow seem to relate to that topic. 01:56:41 Tunes looks awesome, even though not much seems to be going on there 02:04:26 yeah i think that's long dead... though i'm told the irc channel is still active 02:05:48 "ideas are bullet proof" - ha! ;) 02:06:50 * gr8 is having great fun reading through the Tunes discussions 02:07:34 --- join: goingretro (~kbmaniac@host81-129-63-78.range81-129.btcentralplus.com) joined #retro 02:26:16 --- quit: goingretro (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) 03:16:24 --- join: goingretro (~kbmaniac@host86-182-39-84.range86-182.btcentralplus.com) joined #retro 03:54:09 --- quit: gr8 (Remote host closed the connection) 16:59:26 --- join: Sgeo_ (~quassel@68.194.223.12) joined #retro 17:05:10 --- quit: Sgeo (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) 17:05:26 --- quit: ivan`` (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) 17:13:16 --- join: ivan`` (~ivan@unaffiliated/ivan/x-000001) joined #retro 17:24:59 --- quit: crc (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) 17:25:01 --- join: crc (sid2647@gateway/web/irccloud.com/session) joined #retro 17:31:47 --- join: yiyus_ (1242712427@je.je.je) joined #retro 17:38:50 --- quit: yiyus (*.net *.split) 18:31:57 tunes has been mostly dead for years. it occasionally gets a little interest, but nothing is really being done outside of tiny little hobby experiments 23:59:59 --- log: ended retro/14.06.28
