#programming-language

An extremely small Stack-based programming language with few syntax rules. Often compared with Lisp because of its extensibility.

Forth is extremely extensible and could be implemented with only a couple of primitive operations. The rest of the words (Forth’s functions) could be implemented in Forth itself.
