Documentation Please
First thank you for all of the hard work.
Forth in GoLang. Brilliant.
Yesterday I tried out the Forth's written in Python. First 2 failed to work, third one looked sketchy, which is why I tried it last, but is really awesome.
So today, I am checking out the Go versions. Because i really want many small Forth interpreters. Your came up first. But like no documentation. Even a few paragraphs in the read me about the state of the project would be hugely informative. i do not need detailed docs of the words, but just a little background, history, context, to do lists. Something to give me a sense of where this project is, would hugely increse my confidence in it.
Hope that helps. Thanks again for writing it. Chris
That is a huge improvement.
It tells me how to start the interpreter.
It tells me that I can start up lots of Forth machines.
It tells me the existing keywords.
The only part that scares me off is the todo list.
I did not understand what it meant. It sounds like the repl is not working,
which scares me off.
It would be great to find a Forth in GoLang which has a good first impression. Which inspires confidence. You are almost at that level.
So what exactly do those todo items mean?
