Forth programming

[JustALooseScrew]

Right then lads, I haven't got a clue about coding in Forth,

C and C++ and Java are bread and butter to me but Forth is something I've never touched.

I'm working on an MCU project and Forth was suggested to me, personally (now put on your best Aussie accent).

I'm f**king terrified mate.

Should I even consider getting to grips with Forth?

I did not enjoy programming in Forth and if you are used to more object style I don't think you will either . The only other language I disliked quite as much was RPG

I used to code a bit in FORTH years ago at work. It's very low level, more like writing in assembler than a high level language. We used it for speed of execution in embedded applications.

Interesting stuff thanks.

I'm aware of a couple of old school programmers trying to get Forth on to the Arduino platform.

They seem quite excited about it but I'm left wondering if I'm missing something i.e. I'm underwhelmed.

C is low level enough for me so Ill stick with that at the moment.

Thanks
