C Forth for RP2350 Raspberry Pi - M. Edward (Ed)
Borasky
"The Raspberry Pi folks announced their second generation
microcontroller, the RP2350, on August 8th. So I rushed out and pre-ordered a
few miscellaneous boards, some of which are sold out now. It turns out that
Mitch Bradley's C Forth
has a build setup for PlatformIO. The PlatformIO support for the new RP2350
boards is still pre-release but I managed to get it working today on a SparkFun
Pro Micro RP2350! So I can distill all of this into a 20-minute slide show and
demonstration. The code is all in a fork at the moment; once the upstream
releases happen I'm planning to submit a pull request to Mitch."

QUOTE and UNQUOTE - Samuel A. Falvo II (by
video)
A more generalized, and thus useful, replacement for AHEAD and THEN
that can be used to build S"-type strings, convenient code callbacks, and/or
closures, and other things which may involve "quotations" of various kinds.

Forth 2.0 FPGA Computer Update - Don
Golding
“It is time to make Forth THE Programming Language for the
21st Century. Forth was designed to be small, fast, and efficient to run on
small resource limited processors 60 years ago. Today you can buy a 32 bit
processor with memory for $1. So, let's build on Forth to make it the most
readable language today.”
