1979 1983 1994 2012
The standard updates are not that frequent. Structures were only
added in the 2012 standard, but it does not seem that we are going to
update the standard every year now. Indeed there was a suggestion that
we should do more frequent updates at the standards meeting last year,
but there were strong voices against this.
Concerning the idea of a minimal system and that all users then add
their own structures and other things that can be added easily: That's
an idea that comes up regularly (e.g., at this year's EuroForth), and
there have been at least two occasions when people wanted to start a
standard based on that idea. So it is certainly an attractive idea.
But apparently not attractive enough to actually lead to any concrete
outcome. This year we at least got a list of words that were to be in
the minimal set in the opinion of its author, and we played around
with it (defined a number of them in terms of an even smaller set).
I think one problem here is that there are different concepts of
minimalism, and this includes the effort of this year's EuroForth: It
was intended to be a small set of words for education purposes, but
there was also the idea of implementation minimalism (don't provide
what you can easily define from the other provided words) in it.
Myself, I really don't want to define structures in every program, and
I don't want to read through other people's structures definitions
(and note the differences between them) every time I look at a
program, and I also much prefer if people use field names instead of,
e.g., CELL+ or nothing, which they often do if no structures are
present.
