Strange Forth

This language extension supports a variant of Forth, Strange Forth.

Features

This is still early days for the language and the extension. Currently sorth, or Strange Forth runs on macOS, Linux and Windows. Both on x86-64 and Arm64.

See the Strange Forth repository for details on the language itself and to acquire the interpreter for local development.

One mark of the language's growing maturity is that the language server itself is written in Strange Forth, check out the language server starting with language_server.f if you're interested.

There is an experimental runtime written in C# where the bytecode is JITed. You can find it at the C# repo
