A Forth-inspired language for writing websites
The language, detailed in a blog post on robida.net, draws from Forth's stack-based paradigm but targets modern web development. It compiles to JavaScript, allowing direct use in browsers. The syntax is minimal, with words (functions) operating on a stack, reducing the need for complex syntax. The post demonstrates a simple web page example, showing how HTML and CSS can be generated programmatically. The language is open-source and available on GitHub. A concrete consequence is that developers familiar with Forth or stack-based languages can apply their knowledge to web development, potentially increasing productivity for certain use cases.
