ColorForth (original) (raw)
colorForth is a programming language from the Forth language's creator, Charles H. Moore, developed in the 1990s. The language combines elements of Moore's earlier Forth systems and adds color as a way of indicating how words should be interpreted. Program text is tokenized as it is edited; the compiler operates on the tokenized form, so there is less work at compile-time. Coloring in colorForth has semantic meaning. Red words start a definition and green words are compiled into the current definition. Thus, colorForth would be rendered in standard Forth as: : color forth ;

| dbo:abstract | colorForth is a programming language from the Forth language's creator, Charles H. Moore, developed in the 1990s. The language combines elements of Moore's earlier Forth systems and adds color as a way of indicating how words should be interpreted. Program text is tokenized as it is edited; the compiler operates on the tokenized form, so there is less work at compile-time. An idiosyncratic programming environment, the colors simplify Forth's semantics, speed compiling, and are said to aid Moore's own poor eyesight: colorForth uses different colors in its source code (replacing some of the punctuation in standard Forth) to determine how different words are treated. colorForth was originally developed as the scripting language for Moore's own VLSI CAD program OKAD, with which he develops custom Forth processors. As the language gained utility, he rewrote his CAD program in it, spruced up the environment, and released it to the public. It has since gained a small following, spurred much debate in the Forth community, and sprung offshoots for other processors and operating environments. The language's roots are closer to the Forth machine languages Moore develops for his processors than to the mainstream standardized Forths in more widespread use. The language comes with its own tiny (63K) operating system. Practically everything is stored as source code and compiled when needed. The current colorForth environment is limited to running on Pentium grade PCs with limited support for lowest-common-denominator motherboards, AGP video, disk, and network hardware. Coloring in colorForth has semantic meaning. Red words start a definition and green words are compiled into the current definition. Thus, colorForth would be rendered in standard Forth as: : color forth ; Moore developed Forth in the early 1970s and created a series of implementations of the language. In the 1980s he diverged from the standardization of the language, instead continuing to evolve it. He developed a series of Forth-like languages, each extreme in its simplicity: Machine Forth, OKAD, colorForth. Moore has stated that color is only one option for displaying the language. One of Moore's papers on colorForth was printed in black and white, but used italics and other typographical conventions to present source code. (en) colorForth — диалект языка программирования Форт, созданный Ч. Муром во второй половине 1990-х гг. Цвета в нём несут семантическую нагрузку, заменяя некоторые часто употребляемые слова. colorForth изначально создавался Муром как язык сценариев для своей САПР СБИС OKAD, с помощью которой он разрабатывает специальные Форт-процессоры. Поэтому язык гораздо ближе к машинному языку Форт-процессоров, чем к распространённым стандартным реализациям Форта. Язык содержит собственную операционную систему размером 63 Кб. Практически все хранится в исходных кодах и компилируется по мере необходимости. На данный момент colorForth ограничен PC-совместимыми машинами с процессорами Pentium и поддерживая базовые возможности материнских плат, AGP видеокарт, дисковой подсистемы и сетевого оборудования. Расцветка названия colorForth не случайна. Название языка служит простым примером кода на этом языке. Красные слова начинают определение, зелёные — компилируются в текущее определение. В стандартном Форте выражение color Forth записывается в виде: : color forth ; colorForth иногда подвергается критике за использование цвета как непригодного для программистов, страдающих дальтонизмом. Ч. Мур заявляет, что цвет — всего один из способов отображения языка. Один из написанных им документов по colorForth напечатан в чёрно-белом виде с использованием курсива и типографских эффектов для представления исходного кода. (ru) |
