Forthly

Click to run

This is just another Forth implementation. This time in Go and compiled to WebAssembly.

Forth is such a simple language that it is easy to implement in comparison to other languages. Once the basic commands are defined, the rest is just bootstrapped

Tutorial

One of the best tutorials for the Forth language can be found here
