GNU Forth

https://www.gnu.org/software/gforth/
Forth implementation of the GNU project.

Gforth is a fast and portable implementation of the ANS Forth language. It works nicely with the Emacs editor, offers some nice features such as input completion and history, backtraces, a decompiler and a powerful locals facility, and it has a comprehensive manual. Gforth combines traditional implementation techniques with newer techniques for portability and performance: its inner interpreter is direct threaded with several optimizations, but you can also use a traditional-style indirect threaded interpreter.

Gforth runs under GNU, BSD, and similar systems, MS Windows and MacOS and should not be hard to port to other systems supported by GCC.

This is a GNU package:gforth
