ACTION nods

2021-11-15 15:07:27 <eris[m]     > you can write C horizontally
2021-11-15 15:07:58 <f-a         > you can, also python

2021-11-15 18:24:56 <joe9        > no, not all of 9ferno. It has a limbo interpreter. Limbo is the userspace programming language.

2021-11-15 18:25:39 <joe9        > dis vm is the run time.
2021-11-15 18:25:49 <joe9        > I want to replace that with forth.
2021-11-15 18:26:06 <joe9        > replace is not the correct word.
2021-11-15 18:26:39 <joe9        > also, add forth as another supported language independent of dis vm.
