#26478 — Amforth development board

Just saw this on hackaday:

http://hackaday.com/2013/10/12/a-simple-forth-development-board/

pointing to here:

https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/lnmaurer/web/FloatingAway/FloatingAway.html

The author made a floating-point math extension to AmForth, and built an
Atmega-based board to run it on.  I don't quite understand the purpose
of the board instead of running on an Arduino or one of its many clones,
but there it is.

The floating point stuff is written completely in Forth, which is cool,
though if interpreted I wonder about the speed.  It's single-precision
only.  It uses a combined integer/FP stack.

Oh I have to include this awesome book cover linked from the otherwise
lame Hackaday comment thread (slightly nfsw):

He certainly has the appropriate tools for the job.
