Better?  I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion from what they said.
I see numerous disclaimers saying it's unecessary, but here are some
examples of it's use since it's part of the language.

1) "... the goto statement is never necessary ..."

2) " ... it is almost always easy to write code without it. "

3) "Code involving a goto can always be written without one."

4) "... it does seem that goto statements should be used rarely, if at all"

Don't all those state GOTOs are unecessary?  The first even uses "never
necessary".  After they stated it four time in a row, I'm not sure what I
could've misunderstood here.

typeing-> typing
hummur-> humor (American) or humour (British)

For spelling, you can just type in the word in Google's or Yahoo's search
box, and they'll suggest corrections:
http://search.yahoo.com/web
http://www.google.com/

Of course, both British (or United Kingdom) and American spellings of
English words come up as correct.  Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian
spellings probably do also.

You can try Babelfish or Google Translate to translate between different
languages:
http://babelfish.yahoo.com/
http://translate.google.com/


In general, Americans have moved on to easier spellings for English versus
the British.

American  British
 humor     humour
 behavior  behaviour
 while     whilst
 among     amongst
 epilog    epilogue
 prolog    prologue
 truck     lorry
 hood      bonnett
 trunk     boot
etc.

A boot in America is something you wear on your foot that goes above the
ankle to protect your feet from snow, mud, or water.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot

The words football and soccer in America usually mean the opposite from the
rest of the English speaking world.  "Football" is what most of the world
calls the game we call soccer.  Football to us is the more violent game with
the helmets, body padding, tackling, ... which is America's favorite sport.

I do and always have had trouble writing words, I stare at a word and 
just can't see that it's spelt wrong. On important documents I get 
great help from the spell checker.

I'll try Unisons built in checker for a while. See how it shapes up.

It's never effected my coding though !

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
p. 62, section 3.9 Goto's and Labels

.
Nonetheless, we will suggest a few situations where goto's may find a
place. The most common use is to abandon processing in some deeply nested
structure, such as breaking out of two loops at once. The break statement
cannot be used directly since it leaves only the innermost loop.
Thus:

     for ( ... )
         for ( ... ) {
             ...
             if (disaster)
                  goto error;
         }
      ...

error:
      clean up the mess

This organization is handy if the error-handling code is non-trivial, and if
errors can occur in several places. A label has the same form as a variable
name, and is followed by a colon. It can be attached to any statement in the
same function as the goto.

   As another example, consider the problem of finding the first negative
element in a two-dimensional array. (Multi-dimensional arrays are discussed
in Chapter 5.) One possibility is

              for (i = 0; i < N; i++)
                   for (j = 0; j < M; j++)
                        if (v[i][j] < 0)
                             goto found;
              /* didn't find */
             ...
         found:
              /* found one at position i, j */

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comments like "where goto's may find a place" and "this organization is
handy" strongly suggest there are valid, even good reasons to use goto in C.

Andrew I must point out you have a nasty habit of insinuating yourself into
other people's conversations just for the purpose of arguing with people
concerning things that don't involve you and that you have no knowledge
of. That's very nasty business and I think you should learn some manners. I
must also point out you didn't take issue with anyone else's English in this

For goodness' sake, if you want to have a private conversation, take
it to email.  I was quibbling about an apparently incorrect quotation
that you made *in public*.

I don't complain about anyone else's grammar; I make plenty of
mistakes myself.  Bad quotations, however, are another matter, because
they misrepresent a third party.

At least I thought it was a bad quotation, but perhaps those
apostrophes really are in your early edition.  In which case, thank
you for the clarification.

 From what I can remember Motorolla was fairly late on the micro scene 
being like Zillog a firm set up by people leaving an existing company. I 
do have the patience to look up what Texas and other companies produced 
but Intel started with the 4004, followed up by the 8008 and then the 
8080. 
 
 The first micro computer available to the masses was the Altair which 
used an 8080. CPM systems became the common business micro and they used 
the 8080 as well. I do not have the dates for Japanese manufacturers but 
I believe Tandy ended up with most of the US market for home computing 
using a Z80. Apple machines were a lot more expensive and did not really 
take off until Visicalc arrived. 
 
 By the way while Acorn did use the 6502 the original BBC specification 
for the BBC computer specified a Z80 and one of the first add on boards 
for the BBC was a Z80 one.

That is considered anathema here.  The Forth nomenclatura would prefer 
that you purchase or download an eval 'modern' forth, and learn the 
language prior to *NEVER* implementing your own.  *I*, on the other hand 
agree with you, and I've implemented at least 3 C based Forths over the

I agree ... by implementing the feature, you at least understand the 
mechanics, and a knowledge of how to apply it in an application is not a 
stretch from there.

It was not always so.  Back in the FIG days, reference implementations 
were provided for every micro architecture which was popular, and 
"verbatim" re-implementations based upon prior reference platforms kept 
Forth relatively static.

Subsequent standards work has tended away from implementation details, not 
only for portability, but also to remove the handcuffs for the avante 
guarde to innovate ... probably a good thing (TM).

My miniforth (a C based implementation) is an attempt to take the classic 
fig model, and provide a degree of portability.  From that base, I'll be 
adding the platform and language features which will make it a useful 
production scripting language with a small memory footprint ... for *ME* 
anyways.  I suspect that in the end, I will make no attempt to comply 
with any standard, except perhaps the base wordset.

Good luck with your implementation, and if you have pointers to your work, 
they would be appreciated ... (as a BoF) ...

Do you think Forth is a good language?  Or just an easy language to
implement?  If the former, why aren't you implementing *in* Forth?  Even if
you had to use some throw-away C code to bootstrap (hell, I used straight
assembly code for my own bootstrap of ForthOS), wouldn't you at this point be
happily hosted on your own metacompiler?

Not necessarily, at least not out of the box, but add a few words which 
pertain to your problem domain, and it becomes a great language.

When I took my first undergrad programming course in FORTRAN, the first 
couple of weeks were spent using a "mini" assembler like interpreter ... 
just to avoid "big syntax", and to get the basics across.  Forth might 
have been a better choice for teaching undergrads, but this was back in 
the 70's, and Forth hadn't yet hit the radar screens at the University I 
attended (though it eventually did, and there was even a Forth Users group 
headed by Nick Solntseff).

The "factoring" techniques historically ascribed to good forth coding are 
an excellant way to code in any language, and while I have scripted in 
Tcl, python, bash, awk (and toyed with Ruby, Perl, Rexx etc), I keep 
coming back to Forth as a "pet" language.  I suppose it is a great 
language, and as Elizabeth made reference a day or so ago, it offers up 
its internals to the end user ... useful for the low level coder, but 
very scary to the Erlang, Occam and Haskell types ...

> If the former, why aren't you implementing *in* Forth?

You know, that's a very good question.  What do you think the minimal 
wordset to bootstrap a hosted Forth consists of?  I've been meaning to 
write an assembler in my C based forth, and bootstrap from there ... time 
permitting ... but unfortunately, it doesn't -- hence I proceeded *in* C.

Once I had the basic forth framework in C, it was arguably simpler/faster 
to add a bunch of words in C, and so I never analysed what was the minimal 
subset required to bootstrap a "forth".

> Even if you had to use some throw-away C code to bootstrap (hell, I used

exactly ... and I just might start in assembler for the AVR platform, it 
being so different from a Von-Neumann architecture.

I'd ask what words were required to bootstrap your ForthOS, but as it was 
a native implementation on x86 "iron", much of the boot code would likely 
have been in assembler, and the comparison would not have been a fair one 
... also, I recall you used some BIOS i/o routines (no?).  Still, I regard 
ForthOS as a remarkable effort ... and all the more notable by the fact 
that it *was* a native implementation.

My miniforth runs "native" on ARM, and Nintendo DS (homebrew) ... and I'm 
planning to use u-boot to run "native" on an 8core PPC Soc in the near 
term -- but I've got some i/o words to write first 8-).  As for the Hosted 
version of Miniforth, it runs on Windows, Mac/OSX, Linux, 3 BSD's and on

Am I a purist?  Not by a long shot, but I've got a version of Forth on

forth.

It's great to see you open to the concept!

No, ForthOS talks directly to the hardware.

You should go ahead and shoot for a metacompiler, IMHO.  It'll take your
Forth system to another level, if my own experience is any guide.

Dr. Ting spent a long time evaluating the minimum number of words to 
bootstrap a Forth. I think it was about 30. That's what eForth 
was/became IIRC.

So, which 30?  Pointers?

That is so incorrect as to be laughable.  Not only is DIY Forth not 
"anathema" here, a significant number of regular posters have either 
done their own or are in the process of doing so.

My position has been that if you want to implement your own Forth for 
whatever reason, you should at least *learn* Forth by using an existing 
modern Forth and developing a working ability using existing books 
(preferably more modern books than Starting Forth) and tutorials before 
starting the project.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
