Forth Day 2019
Posted: 21 Oct 2019, 09:34
Forth Day is an annual gathering of the Silicon Valley Forth Interest Group (SV Fig), at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California.
This year it is being held on Saturday 16th November, and Charles H. Moore - the inventor of Forth will be giving his annual "Fireside Chat" to the SV Fig.
I have had my proposal for a presentation about Gigatron accepted - and hopefully I will be able to raise some interest within the wider Forth Community.
A group of SV Fig members were responsible for the first implementation of "FIG Forth" on the 6502 back in September 1980 under the leadership of Bill Ragsdale. The listings were published and it rapidly became a popular alternative to BASIC on the early 6502 based home computers.
I wonder whether using v6502 might be a means of implementing a fairly full Forth on the Gigatron?
