for FOuRTH-generation language
Stanford Univ. & Mohasco Charles H. Moore early 1960's
An interactive extensible language using postfix syntax and a data stack. A program is a set of functions ("words") which are compiled by an outer interpreter into bytecodes. FORTH is small and efficient, but programs can be difficult to read. Used first to guide the telescope at NRAO, Kitt Peak.
An extensible language and an interactive development methodology. It's primary uses have been: scientific and industrial applications such as instrumentation, robotics, process control, graphics and image processing, AI, and business. Principal advantages include rapid, interactive software development and efficient use of computer hardware. Often spoken of as a language because that is it's most visible aspect. But in fact, FORTH is both more and less than a conventional language; more -all the capabilities normally associated with a large portfolio of separate programs (compilers, editors, etc.) are included within it's range and less in that it lacks (deliberately) the complex syntax characteristic of most high-level languages.
