This is a small Forth in the spirit of Jonesforth, with the following goals:
- Run on 80186+
- Minimum effort to working kernel
- Brutal simplicity, at the cost of size & speed
- Easily remove unnecessary parts
And the following design choices:
- Subroutine-threaded (STC)
- Monolithic outer interpreter
- Single-segment COM file (max 64k)
Things Bicycle Forth will not be good at:
- Not fastest possible applications
- Not smallest possible applications
- Not F83 or ANSI compliant - original design choices will be made!
