I'm sure there are lots of folks who read this group and whose hopes will be raised by the presence of messages here. Rather than disappoint them, lemme ask a couple of questions to start some discussion. 1) What work has been done on garbage collectible forth systems (systems in which words can be deleted in any order, and the space they take reclaimed)? 2) What work has been done on `crash proof' forth systems? At what cost to execution speed? 3) Does there exist an object oriented forth or forth extension? Thomas Lord lord+@andrew.cmu.edu
