Inverse Shunting Yard Algorithm for Porting Forth to Other
Programming Languages as Host Environments - Liang Ng
Phoscript
is a Forth dialect where various Forth constructs are ported to other
programming languages as host environments, based on Inverse Shunting Yard
Algorithm, reducing the barriers of entry to learn Forth for programmers of all
ages. Further, high level abstraction of source code using Phoscript
generalizes Merkle trees to general purpose digital contracts, enabling
unprecedented large scale collaboration for free software projects and novel
mechanisms for collecting royalties.

Elevator Pitch for Forth - Kevin Appert
We'll
discus ideas for a short discussion on “What is Forth?” or “What
is Forth good for?” Everyone is challenged to produce a description,
slides, or short video. This may serve as introductory information on the SVFIG
YouTube channel. There was a suggestion to use Brad's contribution.

Comparing CoSy with Other Array Languages - Bob
Armstrong
"CoSy, while radically simpler
and more flexible than other array languages, being an open vocabulary in
Forth, has equivalent expressive power. I will work through the one line
example in Conor Hoekstra's YouTube: APL vs BQN vs J vs Q vs NumPy vs Julia vs
R."
