What part of "Big Fucking Magnets" do people not get about MRI?

@d6 @neauoire I should check on that - maybe it was Joy that ran / runs on the JVM. But two interesting languages, Scala and Clojure, definitely got my veto for JVM dependency.

@neauoire @d6 Ah yes ... I should look at Joy some more. The Wikipedia description is intriguing.

@d6 is right - Factor was originally on the JVM but isn't any more.

But I still want a true interactive macro-assembler - a subroutine-threaded #Forth with inline CODE word capabilities.

@neauoire #Forth Stack comments! They are indeed comments only. A Forth compiler could build validity checks using them, but I don't know of any that do.

vmgen, a sub-project of gforth, has a compiler that uses them in code generation.

gforth is an amazing package. The only thing I wish it had was a meta compiler for micro-controllers.

@neauoire I never got interested in any of the languages built on the Java Virtual Machine. I had some bad experiences with managing the RAM usage of the runtime in turnkey systems running various dialects of Unix. In the end we had to replace the functionality and the whole JVM ecosystem soured for me.
