2021-12-05 03:58:35 <remexre     > hah, just ran across : REPEAT POSTPONE AGAIN POSTPONE ENDIF ; IMMEDIATE (again?)
2021-12-05 04:07:41 <dave0       > i saw that!

2021-12-05 06:37:06 <logand``    > remexre: you could do 37 2 max 36 min base !
2021-12-05 07:12:28 <dave0       > which of these should i write? : nop ; is just a space filler here. postpone is shorter and i get the same threaded code, but i am not confident with using postpone or even that i wrote it correctly...

2021-12-05 08:37:13 <ecraven     > do I understand correctly that CREATE "just" reads the next word when executed, and binds it to HERE in the dictionary?
2021-12-05 09:44:23 <neuro_sys_  > Yes, parses next word from input buffer, creates a dictionary entry for that name.

2021-12-05 11:28:20 <eris[m]     > is freenode still around?

2021-12-05 11:32:58 <imode       > there's nothing that says this is bridged.

Discussion between these channels is bridged, and the channels are publicly logged. We welcome discussion of Forth, technical topics, and general discussion. Keep things civil and don't troll.
