A mirror of JONESFORTH, a literate x86 assembly implementation of the Forth programming language by Richard WM Jones. The heavily commented source doubles as a tutorial on building a Forth from scratch.
Use cases
- learn how to implement a Forth interpreter in assembly
- study literate programming examples
- understand x86 assembly through a real program
- build a minimal Forth from scratch
- explore low-level language implementation
When to choose
- you want to learn Forth internals from well-commented assembly
- you need a small, self-contained Forth implementation for Linux x86
When to avoid
- you need a production Forth system with tooling and support
- you target platforms other than 32-bit x86 Linux
- you need an actively maintained or licensed project
