Honestly ruined my night

Such a short and simple example of how elegant and black box Forth is.

Forth is incredible. In 300 lines of code, I am able to make a RISC-V32I assembler and use it to boot into OpenSBI with Qemu. Not to mention, a significant amount of those 300 lines are data definitions like register names and instruction definitions. The core of the assembler—the infrastructure for encoding and decoding instructions, and dumping them into a binary file—took a surprisingly small amount of effort. Whether this speaks to the strengths of FORTH or RISC-V is not a question as I tried to do the same thing in C and I had gotten to about a thousand lines and am still writing a parser. Even then, if i had completed it, it would be a much less powerful assember as compared to the one you see in the screenshot above which is an assembler written as a forth DSL, giving you all the power of forth to write your assembly.

"Microsoft's engineer wants to "eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030" by combining AI and algorithms "to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases."

But don't worry – he is not revamping Windows, just building tech to make migration from language to language possible"

This is why you don't let the sales department dictate the product direction. Dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life lol
