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

) Forth environments vary in how the resulting program is stored, but ideally running the program has the same effect as manually re-entering the source.

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 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.

By including interaction, scripting, and compilation, Forth was popular on computers with limited resources, such as the BBC Micro and Apple II series, and remains so in applications such as firmware and small microcontrollers.

He said ( in published remarks, Byte Magazine's Forth Issue ) that he found it so convenient that he propagated it into all later Forth designs.

The bridge's management was delegated to the FRBJB, and remained so until 2002 when its operation was transferred to a new body with a wider remit, the Forth Estuary Transport Authority.

George was living in Liverpool directing proceedings, so Robert took charge at the Forth Street Works and worked on the development of a locomotive to compete in the forthcoming Rainhill Trials, intended to choose a locomotive design to be used on the new railway.

In 1972 he started an annual sponsored walk across the Forth Road Bridge for Christian Aid, so far raising over £ 1, 000, 000.

Similar to Hadrian's Wall but built of turf rather than stone so less of it has survived, it marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire between the Firth of Forth and Firth of Clyde during the AD 140s.

She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat ; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf ; he became foster-father of her son, Saint Kentigern ( Saint Mungo ).

She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat ; it sailed her across the Firth of Forth to land at Culross where she was cared for by Saint Serf ; he became foster-father of her son, Saint Kentigern or Mungo ( d. 612 ).

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.

Buchan's increased influence in Scottish affairs was again furthered when sometime before February 1387, he was appointed Justiciar North of the Forth Carrick's guardianship of Scotland had not been a success and certainly failed to reign in Buchan and so late in 1388, King Robert's second son, Robert, Earl of Fife became the effective ruler of the Kingdom.

* In the 1999 comedy Blackadder: Back & Forth, Lord Blackadder ( Rowan Atkinson ) subjects Baldrick ( Tony Robinson ) to dunking in a toilet so that he can experience a near-death life review to recover details neither of them can remember.

With languages such as Scheme and Forth, standards may be considered insufficient, inadequate or even illegitimate by implementors, so often they will deviate from the standard, making a new dialect.

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.

The canal remained the primary water source for the Forth and Clyde canal, and so some sections are still in water today, notably the eastern section between Woodhall and eastern Coatbridge, and to the west of that town and Cuilhill.

Coal trains that formerly crossed the Forth Bridge en route to Longannet Power Station are now rerouted by that line so that the bridge's maximum signalling capacity for trains can be used to increase the local passenger service.

** A sea area in the North Sea, referred to in shipping forecasts, named after the Firth of Forth

** The Forth River, named after the Scottish River Forth ( see above.

In September 1825 the works at Forth Street, Newcastle completed the first locomotive for the new railway: originally named Active, it was soon renamed Locomotion.

Newark Hall is an undergraduate hall of residence named after the local town of Newark, sharing its coat of arms and motto " Deo Fretus Erumpe " (" Trust in God and Sally Forth ").

Like Forth, MUF is easily extensible: programmers may combine primitives and data to form new named subroutines.

Edinburgh and it's hinterland strong economy ( Forth Valley, Fife, West Lothian, Midlothian and East Lothian ) means it has been named a one of Europe's fasting growing city-regions.
