Belated "nice demo" to Elizabeth Rather 2 47 (7/24/2011 7:59:24 PM) comp.lang.forth Saw this posted on Reddit a couple days ago. Just wanted to say that I thought Elizabeth gave an excellent demo of Forth... even if it is a tad late. Definitely a "blast from the past!" ;-) Jeff M. ... Jeff

Strategies for analysis of word parameter ordering 7 33 (6/14/2011 9:55:18 PM) comp.lang.forth So, over the past couple years I've actually been doing a fair amount of Ha= skell programming. Nothing super special or to write home about, but one fe= ature of FP languages that always makes me stop and cons... Jeff

Comparing 'a option in ocaml 3 25 (4/7/2011 6:56:38 PM) comp.lang.functional Sorry if this is somewhere on the web, but I've been google'ing my eyes out looking and haven't found it yet... Is there a way to compare (==), (>), ( a' option -> int) that does what I'm looking for, but I ha... Jeff

Haskell IO Monad help/tutorials? 3 100 (3/24/2011 10:36:06 PM) comp.lang.functional So, I'm diving trying to learn me some Haskell (coming from Common Lisp), and while I conceptually understand the problems that monads solve and - to a lesser degree - how they work, I'm just bashing my head...

Haiku/BeOS 3 37 (10/2/2009 3:18:41 PM) comp.lang.forth I recently discovered Haiku (http://www.haiku-os.org/), an effort to resurrect BeOS. I have it installed on a VM and it runs wonderfully. I was wondering if anyone was aware of a Forth that ran on BeOS I could ... Jeff

Bindings and optimizations 5 33 (9/23/2009 7:36:34 PM) comp.lang.scheme Sorry, this is almost a cross-post (I have a similar post in c.l.l), but this one is more specific to Scheme; I'm wondering if the standard defines what should happen. I'm comparing Ypsilon and Chez (petite): ... Jeff

Fast binding lookups 5 36 (9/23/2009 4:38:50 PM) comp.lang.lisp I'm hoping someone here has a paper or two they can point me at. I basically want to understand - or at least get a grasp - on some of the tricks used by Common Lisp and Scheme to do fast binding lookups. I've ... Jeff

How does macrolet get implemented? 7 30 (9/12/2009 5:16:31 AM) comp.lang.lisp I'm trying to understand how macrolet actually works. My current thought process goes something like this: (defmacro foo (x) `(* ,x ,x)) (defun test () (foo 10)) After FOO is created, the next READ will consu... Jeff

Logarithms of bignums 2 39 (6/13/2009 7:34:13 PM) comp.lang.lisp (log (fac 1000) 10) On SBCL, this returns properly: 2567.6047 On LispWorks (which is my Lisp of choice), I sadly get returned: +1F++0 #| +1F++0 is single-float plus-infinity |# Just wondering if anyone is aw... Jeff

Code you're proud of 63 23 (6/5/2009 9:34:12 PM) comp.lang.forth This is completely OT, but something I found fun yesterday, and just wanted to share with those who might appreciate it... Where I work a bunch of us got together and were discussing projects we'd worked on in... Jeff

-IF 6 28 (7/21/2011 4:58:26 PM) comp.lang.forth Am I correct in thinking the word -IF doesn't remove the argument from the stack? Is there any particular advantage to having it available? : test ( n -- n ) = if ." Equal" then ; Doesn't seem especially use... markrobertwills (871)

control-flow stack in the new standard 74 30 (8/13/2011 3:01:44 PM) comp.lang.forth The standard allows the system to use a separate control-flow stack, but all systems that I know of use the data stack for that purpose. Is there a single system using a separate control-flow stack, and if yes... m_l_g3 (591)
