I been working on a project using C to create a small Forth VM similar 
to eForth, I have been making progress and soon it will be time to use 
that Forth VM as the core of a complete Forth system. Since the core 
it's written in C and the rest in Forth it should be easy to transport 
to various CPUs.

As a side project I bought some books on Go a system programming 
language and have it setup on my development PC, so I was thinking that 
once the Forth VM in C is tested and working to rewrite the whole thing 
in Go as a Go learning exercise.

I was going to write the whole thing in C++ and even bought a few books 
on C++, about $150 worth but then I rediscovered why I disliked C++ in 
the first place so many years ago so that proved a waste of money. That 
is why I started looking at Go so I could have a more modern language to 
use in writing system software, it has limited Object programming but 
unlike C++ which I dislike.

Go is not available for embedded processors other that ARM but it don't 
see that as a major problem, it is available for all the major OSes like 
Windows. OS X, and a multitude of Linux and other similar OSes like BSD.

  I want to learn Go for other uses so the possibility to use something 
else besides Go to write this software such as Forth compilers is a 
possibility. Other options are enhanced Forth like languages such as 
8th, or oForth. Since Go is somewhat similar to C it's not a stretch to 
rewrite working C code in it.

So, does anyone in the group have experience with Go in writing a Forth 
compiler or other major software or know of links to someone else's work 
on using Go in writing compilers?

Thanks in advance.
