Lines: 14 I am a beginning Forth user, and I am intrigued by Forth's syntax, which is completely different than anything else I've ever tinkered with. Since Forth is a stack oriented language, it seems to me that it would be very suitable for recursive programming. Do any implementations of Forth directly support recursively defined words? Is it possible to program extensions in Forth that will add this capability?
