Thrilled to announce the release of #bjForth v0.0.3 🎉

A heap of improvements and additions. And what's best is that they are automatically tested every time a changeset is pushed 😎

Grab the latest tarball and hack yourself some serious Forth.

Added some "visual effects" to #bjForth output 😎
It already feels very professional 😆

#bjForth v0.0.2 is here! 🎉

After nearly 2 years of work, I'm excited to release the first version of #bjForth, featuring partial JONESFORTH compatibility and initial Java interop.

Grab it and start hacking: https://github.com/bahmanm/bjforth/releases/tag/v0.0.2

Currently working on Java inter-op for #bjForth: https://github.com/bahmanm/bjforth/issues/223

Looking forward to your opinions on semantics and syntax 🙏

#Programming #Forth

IT WORKS! 🎉

First ever release is in the works. 🕺

💡 #bjForth is a #Forth written entirely in #Java: https://github.com/bahmanm/bjforth?tab=readme-ov-file#roadmap

How simple-minded of me to think JONESFORTH's execution model can easily be translated to Java 🤦😅🤔

IT WORKS! 🕺🎉

_There's still plenty to go for #bjForth to be JONESFORTH compatible though._

I just implemented INTERPRET and wrote tests for it in #bjForth 🎉

A small step for the #Forth world, a giant step for bjForth!

Thanks @kt for converting the JONESFORTH assembler code to pseudo-code 🙏

And #bjForth is back in the game with a clean and passing master 🎉

In case you're interested, #bjForth master is broken as I am refactoring the tests case by case. The idea is to make them uniform, less verbose and more readable.

Working on #bjForth, I'm having trouble reading `INTERPRET` in jonesforth.S:2090, especially mapping it #Java.

Has anyone done this before (in another high-level language)? If not, would you be so kind as to give it a read and tell me in English or pseudo-code what does it do?

When starting #bjForth, I invested some time writing builders for my tests so they read naturally.

That, paired with the custom assertions that I wrote with #AssertJ, has really made my test code read very fluently *to me*.

An upfront cost that I don't regret at all 😎

#bjForth implementation has come a long way. Now I'm actually writing the code for the `CREATE` word - serious stuff!

I'm essentially just a few inches away from being able to feed Forth code to bjForth - fun times indeed!
