#26768 — Challenge for bilingual: stl::forth

The Standard Template Library is, at least, a very inspired work.

For instance http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/

A few years ago, I tried unsuccessfully to write a Forth based on that beautiful library.

But because of lack of experience (and time), I did not reach my goal and finally I abandoned.

I propose the following challenges: Write, if not the worst performer, the more conceptual and minimalist Forth definition based only on the C++ STL libraries.

Something like:


   typedef std::string forth_name;
   typedef forth_cell unsigned;
   typedef stack< forth_cell > forth_stack;
   typedef std::forward_list< word > forth_wordlist;
   typedef std::vector< word* > cfa_vector;
   ... etc.

And if nobody takes up the challenge, does'nt it a fun approach?

Maybe to a C++ programmer.  But to a Forth programmer?
