Ten years of Forth in ACM Sigplan Notices: part 2

ABSTRACT

Last column, we began a two-part retrospective to recap the first ten years of the ACM Sigplan Notices Forth Report. Our walk through memory lane began with a history lesson: who Chuck Moore is, the origins of the Forth programming language, Forth software and hardware incarnations, some vendors, conferences, and a few tall tales. We looked at little pioneer ACM SIG-Forth and its four-year Newsletter, and how phoenix-like their ashes gave rise to the ten-year run of the Forth Report in Sigplan Notices.
