Unlike other stack-based environments ( such as Forth and the Java Virtual Machine ) the p-System has only one stack shared by procedure stack frames ( providing return address, etc.

It has since gained a small following, spurred much debate in the Forth community, and sprung offshoots for other processors and operating environments.

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 Forth ) to determine how different words are treated.

It did not store the text of a Forth program, instead it compiled the code after editing and stored it in ready-to-run format.

colorForth was originally developed as the scripting language for Moore's own homebrew VLSI CAD program OKAD, with which he develops custom Forth processors.

The 1994 standard is currently undergoing revision, provisionally titled Forth 200x.

Forth often does not have local variables, however, nor is it call-by-value.

Forth is a simple yet extensible language ; its modularity and extensibility permit the writing of high-level programs such as CAD systems.

Forth is still used today in many embedded systems ( small computerized devices ) because of its portability, efficient memory use, short development time, and fast execution speed.

Forth is so named because in 1968 " the file holding the interpreter was labeled FOURTH, for 4th ( next ) generation software — but the IBM 1130 operating system restricted file names to 5 characters.

Forth became very popular in the 1980s because it was well suited to the small microcomputers of that time, as it is compact and portable.

* 1890 – The longest bridge in Great Britain, the Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland, measuring long, is opened by the Prince of Wales, who later becomes King Edward VII.

PostScript is an interpreted, stack-based language similar to Forth but with strong dynamic typing, data structures inspired by those found in Lisp, scoped memory and, since language level 2, garbage collection.

The postfix reverse Polish notation is used in many stack-based programming languages like PostScript and Forth, and is the operating principle of certain calculators, notably from Hewlett-Packard.

Chapter Six of Leo Brodie's book Thinking Forth ( 1984 ) is dedicated to the subject.

51-FORTH is an implementation of the Forth programming language for the Intel 8051 microcontroller.

In the Forth programming language, for example, ordinarily only the return address, counted loop parameters and indexes, and possibly local variables are stored on the call stack ( which in that environment is named the return stack ), although any data can be temporarily placed there using special return stack handling code so long as the needs of calls and returns are respected ; parameters are ordinarily stored on a separate data stack or parameter stack, typically called the stack in Forth terminology even though there is a call stack since it is usually accessed more explicitly.

In Stephen Boardman ’ s The Early Stewart Kings, the younger Robert, then John, earl of Carrick, is shown to be an energetic ambitious man and fully engaged in the running of the country, at the centre of Anglo-Scottish diplomacy, and who became the pre-eminent magnate in Scotland and whose political importance south of the Forth would eclipse that of his father ’ s.

Railway lines running north from Edinburgh to Fife and the Highlands cross the Firth of Forth via the Forth Bridge.

It is named after the Bannock Burn, a burn ( small stream ) running through the village before flowing into the River Forth.

The land was situated close to the Forth and Clyde Canal and to the main road running west out of Glasgow to Dumbarton, and so was conveniently positioned for transporting materials and workers to and from the shipyard.

In addition to the formal Network Rail definition, the ECML is sometimes regarded as including the Edinburgh to Aberdeen Line, on which some East Coast services continue beyond Edinburgh Waverley to Aberdeen, running mostly in view of the east coast via Kirkcaldy, Dundee and Arbroath .| North of Edinburgh it includes the red cantilever Forth Bridge, and at Dundee the curved Tay Bridge, both crossing wide river estuaries.

In 1490 Henry VII of England, by way of reprisal against Wood, fitted out three privateers under Stephen Bull ; but after a running fight from the Forth to the Tay, Bull and his three ships were captured by Wood.

The ring road plan also called for a motorway out from the centre of the city to the north-west ( as the ring road plan would have involved four motorways running off of the central ring-a northeast one, which is the M8 from Glasgow city centre to Edinburgh ; a southwest one, which is the M8 from Glasgow city centre to Greenock ; a southeast one, the projected M74 extension ; and a northwest one, which would have left the Inner Ring Road at Woodside ( slip road stubs are visible ) and followed the path of the Forth & Clyde Canal up through the Maryhill area of Glasgow to Milngavie and beyond ).

A canal junction was formed at this point with the Forth and Clyde Canal branch, running north under Garngad Hill ( now Robroyston Hill ) before turning west under Castle Street.

The city has two commercial radio stations: Forth One, a station aimed at young listeners with a mainstream chart music output, and Forth 2 on medium wave which plays classic hits.

Although not as popular as other programming systems, Forth has enough support to keep several language vendors and contractors in business.

Forth has been used successfully in large, complex projects, while applications developed by competent, disciplined professionals have proven to be easily maintained on evolving hardware platforms over decades of use.

Forth has a niche both in astronomical and space applications.

It has been implemented efficiently on modern RISC processors, and processors that use Forth as machine language have been produced.

" Moore saw Forth as a successor to compile-link-go third-generation programming languages, or software for " fourth generation " hardware, not a fourth-generation programming language as the term has come to be used.

A Forth system has often been used to bring up new hardware.

The term " factoring " has been used in the Forth community since at least the early 1980s.

In extreme programming, the Extract Method refactoring technique has essentially the same meaning as factoring in Forth ; to break down a " word " ( or function ) into smaller, more easily maintained functions.

It has been described as " a cross between Forth and Lemmings.

The city has been strategically significant since at least the Roman occupation of Britain, due to its naturally defensible crag and tail hill ( latterly the site of Stirling Castle ), and its commanding position at the foot of the Ochil Hills on the border between the Lowlands and Highlands, at the lowest crossing point of the River Forth.

The city itself has grown up around its castle which stands atop an ancient quartz-dolerite sill, a major defensive position which was at the lowest crossing point on the River Forth.

The development comprises retail, residential and commercial elements, including a conference centre, hotel and Vue multiplex cinema, that will ultimately expand the city centre area, linking it to the River Forth, which has been cut off from the city centre area since the construction of the A9 bypass under the railway station in the 1960s.

Transport infrastructure in the area has been further improved with the completion of the Upper Forth Crossing and the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine rail link, and there is an on-going ( 2010 ) upgrade of the A80 Trunk road to Motorway standards.

It has few words that expose the compiler behaviour and therefore naturally offers genericity capacities which, however, are not referred to as such in most Forth texts.

Forth husband of Jacoba van Beieren, has lived for a few years in Slot Teylingen.

The inner Firth, i. e. between the Kincardine and Forth bridges, has lost about half of its former intertidal area as a result of land being reclaimed, partly for agriculture, but mainly for industry and the large ash lagoons built to deposit the spoil from the coal fired Longannet Power Station near Kincardine.

It has since been used for defensive purposes, as it is situated in a strategically important position in the middle of the Firth of Forth.
