2022-02-04 14:07:30 <lispmacs[work]> that is a pretty funny rant
2022-02-04 14:07:47 <lispmacs[work]> I am in the process of learning x86-64 assembly

2022-02-04 22:12:51 <a88         > I just found freeforth, very interesting and I think quite an advancement. It is always in compile mode (even when interpreting) and it uses the x86 flags for control flow (it is always good to use the hardware provided). It is quite fast for a non-optimized native code compiler. It seems really good to me. You do have to learn to use IF/UNTIL/ etc in a new way because they use the x86 flags. Here is a great explanation of how it is fast:
