03:00:03 ##forth <rendar> this is forth? it seems lisp
12:44:03 ##forth <KipIngram> No, that's not Forth. From time to time we do talk about Lisp here.
12:45:35 ##forth <KipIngram> When it happens to be related to the internal implementation of Lisp I find it pretty interesting - I've come to think that basic, non-optimized Lisp can be implemented in a similarly simple way to Forth. Maybe not quite AS simple, but not too bad.

21:26:15 ##forth <[[smlckz]]> The hardest part of a simple Lisp implementation is eval. I'll say lisps (and underlying lambda calculus) are conceptually simpler to implement than Forth. It was quite difficult for me to make sense of DOES>.. but ultimately, I'd put it this way: Lisps and Forths are duals of each other (in some vaguely yin-yang sense). Each language provides the
21:26:16 ##forth <[[smlckz]]> next most natural implementation of the other, apart from the the one in itself.
23:35:36 ##forth <anthk_> [[smlckz]]: is not that difficult https://t3x.org/zsp/index.html
23:36:15 ##forth <anthk_> the zenlisp compiler basically bootstraps a huge chunk on itself
23:36:22 ##forth <anthk_> s,compiler,interpreter
23:39:38 ##forth <anthk_> and this example on forth it's pretty much the ur-exaple, from the VM to the interpreter https://github.com/jserv/subleq
23:39:44 ##forth <anthk_> the manual covers evertyhing
23:39:54 ##forth <anthk_> from primitives to words
