Implementations: The goal of this section is to be the most comprehensive list of Forth implementations and links on the Internet. Forth is a programming language with a lot of implementations; you might say it is implementation rich; it may have more implementations than any other language. This is a strength and a weakness; it has positive and negative aspects - depending on your application. Many other languages are standardized - or complex and large - and when users want a new feature or change - they write an extension. Forth is less standardized and very compact - and when users want a new feature or change - they write an implementation. Forth philosophy is: If you can't find what you want in an extant Forth - write your own. Flexibility is the key virtue and goal. Languages Forth Implementations:
