Alee Forth
Still very much in development! Not suitable for real applications yet.
Alee is a portable and concise Forth implementation in modern C++. Its primary aims are for reduced program size and execution efficiency. Portability includes bare-metal platforms, with intentions to support microcontrollers with kilobytes of memory.
Compatibility
A base dictionary is being built by working through the "core" and "core extension" glossaries. These word lists are included in compat.txt
, with "yes" indicating that the word is implemented either in core.fth
or within Alee itself.
A sys
word is available to provide access to user-defined C++ functions.
Building
Alee requires make
and a C++17-compatible compiler.
To compile, simply run the make
command. This will produce a library, libalee.a
, as well as a REPL binary named alee
.
A small
target exists that optimizes the build for size.
