Bicycle Forth

This is a small Forth in the spirit of Jonesforth, with the following goals:

  • Run on 80186+
  • Minimum effort to working kernel
  • Brutal simplicity, at the cost of size & speed
  • Easily remove unnecessary parts

And the following design choices:

  • Subroutine-threaded (STC)
  • Monolithic outer interpreter
  • Single-segment COM file (max 64k)

Things Bicycle Forth will not be good at:

  • Not fastest possible applications
  • Not smallest possible applications
  • Not F83 or ANSI compliant - original design choices will be made!
