Open Source Forth Interpreters

ANS Forth for Win32 and Linux/x86 (used to compile the following SF projects: acWEB, acFTP, acFreeProxy, acSMTP, Forth-Script)

Win32Forth is ANS compatible, Forth language application development system with many tools; Interactive console, integrated extensible debugger, a GUI file editor, hypertext rendering, hyperlinked source files. VIEW <word-name> to explore the many files

The Portable Forth Environment implements the ANSI Forth Standard, it is fully written in C, the newer version has a module concept, and it is fully multithreaded. Autoconf used. Tested in embedded environments.

Mops is a full-featured, object-oriented stand-alone programming language for Mac OS X. Its interactive development environment provides for fluid and productive programming by allowing quick testing and modification of small code segments.

VolksForth is a 16bit Forth System with the goal to produce a manageable Forthsystem for computer systems with restricted system resources.

Ficl is a lightweight, embeddable scripting language designed to be incorporated into other programs, and especially embedded systems that may have memory and OS constraints. Applications include scripting, hardware bring-up, rapid prototyping, and system extensions. Unlike Lua or Python, Ficl acts as a component of your system - you feed it stuff to do, it does the stuff, and comes back to you for more. You can export compiled code to Ficl, execute Ficl code from your compiled code, or interact. Your choice.

bigFORTH is a native code Forth for x86 processors. MINOS is a portable GUI library for X11 and Win32, written in object oriented Forth, and includes the form editor Theseus.

FTH provides running stand alone Forth scripts like Ruby etc. and using Forth as an extension language to your application.

A virtual machine providing a dynamic, portable assembler; JIT compilation; C bindings; and Forth semantics.

Forpost is an embeddable, interpreted stack-based(Forth-like) language which has simple, compact and effective implementation in ANSI C. Main features: heterogeneous arrays, higher-order functions, program/data equivalence.

16 bit Forth for PC. No OS required.

amforth is an extendable command interpreter running on AVR ATmega and TI MSP430 microcontrollers. The Risc-V and ARM architectures are ascending. Turnkey actions for IoT workloads are possible as well. The command language is close to the Forth 2012 standard.

AVR interactive language (avrIL) is a forth like language for AVR processors.

This project originally was about a megaman clone called "Game Developer Man". Game Developer Man, the game, has long since tanked. However this project has moved on to the KRGP.

This is fast 32bit FORTH system for PalmOS 2.x/6.x having the following features: Programming directly on PalmOS device, Full ANS 94 compatibility, Fast 32bit and 64bit arithmetic, Multitasking kernel, Supporting PalmOS from 2.0 to 6.0

Forth Compiler/Interpreter, fig-Typ (1.0), 'indirectly threaded code', für ia32-pc-linux/ELF-Rechner; unabhängig von externen programmen, libc u.dgl.

Tools to incrementally build customised Forth Virtual Machines for embedded applications. Token compiler converts token description into C code templates. PC console application includes FVM, it is used to compile and debug bytecodes for target FVM.

Forth interpreter done for .NET. Just a way to learn Forth, CIL and more C#.

MinForth V3.4 is a classic Forth system with command-line interface. Development resource requirements are minimal. A source text editor and a C compiler are sufficient. By design no toolchain is required to adapt or rebuild MinForth. A complete rebuild takes only few seconds. Current sources are for Windows and Linux (32-bit or 64-bit). MinForth primitive definitions are written in mixed Forth and C language and are transpiled to pure C code. Main but not exclusive application for the transpiler is to build the MinForth V3.4 high-level Forth compiler. MinForth V3.4 is widely conformant to the Forth-2012 draft standard and passes the usual test suites. Feedback and bug reports are welcome per - Usenet forum https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.lang.forth - email to minforth@gmx.net

OspreyForth is a personal project to make a customized Forth interpreter that can be used to create command-line scripts and general apps. It is currently capable of loading dynamic libraries and using external C code. In the future code that more directly attaches to the interpreter are planned so as to expand its abilities out-of-the-box.

A Portable Forth. It is aimed to be interpreted, or compiled to various architectures and VMs.

Gigabyte-scale persistent object Store in C++. Able to intern and persist arbitrary ELF loadble objects. Convenient class library (Lists, Strings, Dicts, Namespaces, etc.) optimised for spatial locality of reference. Virtual machine toolkit.

Wisp is a small Scheme-like language designed to be easily used in various structured data processing tools. The accent is on simplicity, automatical generatibility, and efficiency. (Currently on long hiatus. Gauche has similar goals and is maturer.)

apForth is Another Portable Forth implementation started as pForth fork.
