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

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

Grab the latest tarball and hack yourself some serious Forth.

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

Looking forward to your opinions on semantics and syntax 🙏

IT WORKS! 🎉

First ever release is in the works. 🕺

💡 #bjForth is a #Forth written entirely in #Java: github.com/bahmanm/bjfo...

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._

Implement the INTERPRET primitive by bahmanm · Pull Request #175 · bahmanm/bjforth

I just implemented the INTERPRET word along with tests in #bjForth.

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

#Programming

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.

#Programming #Forth

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

Have you done this before? 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?

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

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

A screenshot of bjForth test code with builders and custom assertions.

When starting #bjForth, I spent some time writing builders for my tests so they read naturally.
That, paired with the custom assertions I wrote with #AssertJ, has really made my test code read very fluently.
An upfront investment I don't regret at all 😎
