02:34 <proteus-guy> So implementing branch and loop controls for ActorForth as implemented in python is a giant PITA! I think I would have been better off using C++ or ASM. Anyway - looping works thanks to an abomination of tee-ing iterators from generators! Forward jumps are next. Then I can start decoding and encoding protocols for useful work.

14:19 <proteus-guy> ActorForth has comments, strings, and basic loops! :-) Almost a real language kinda sorta...

18:52 <Zarutian_HTC> The thing is that it was abolished around 2000 and is just part of the council fee. He was visited in 2004 iirc.

19:12 <mokulus> so the loicense memes are true??

20:51 <Zarutian_HTC> mokulus: not sure what you mean

20:51 <mokulus> how old are you? first digit

21:13 <cmtptr> a/s/l?

21:14 <mokulus> 18/f/cali

21:14 <mokulus> u?

21:14 <cmtptr> that's incredible, me too!

22:54 <dave0> maw

23:49 <crest> just adding thousands of tiny forth cores to a die won't result in a useful chip

23:50 <crest> you'll quickly encounter amdahl's law

23:51 <crest> and have to spend most resources on the interconnect between the simple cores to do anything more intersting than bitcoin mining with them

23:51 <crest> the mental load on the programmer is one of the important reasons that intersting designs like the cell processor failed

23:53 <crest> implementing a token threaded forth on cortex m3/m4 would be nice because they have a jump table instructions (TBB, TBH) for 8 bit and 16bit tokens

23:54 <crest> some CISC instruction sets have indexed addressing modes that can be use to accomplish the same
