Well sure, some kinds of "results" involve hardware interfacing like that, others don't. Other types of results involve computing stuff, communications, games, etc. all of which are most easily done on PC's. > Bigger cpus are not easy to program if you don't use Forth. With Forth > even bigger cpus are not hard to program. I don't understand that at all; the biggest computer of them all is the human brain, and people have been programming those (admittedly unreliably...) for many 1000's of years--you just talk to the person ;-). Bigger computers are easier to program (except at the lowest level) than smaller ones, because there's higher-level languages, OS's to supply low level services so the programmer doesn't have to, enough machine resources that you can solve your problem straightforwardly instead of having to micro-optimize, etc. > But we have chosen the MSP430G2553, a tiny little microprocessor.

Yeah, I like it and think it's a great intro to the topic of embedded or low-level programming. I just think it's better to start from a higher level and work downward, rather than the other way around. >> Embedded is orders of magnitude harder in my opinion.

I wasn't talking about restarting the crashed program. I mean, if your program crashes, how do you debug it? There are no error diagnostics like "subscript out of bounds at line 37". Your program just stops working. Even having to wipe stuff or press buttons and re-download is a nuisance compared to using a PC (just press F5 in the case of IDLE to re-launch the Python interpreter and send the program to it again). >> Plus on smaller systems you have to use languages (like Forth) with >> very few safety checks, causing more hazards. > Hazards help to learn to be careful.

I can't think of any times I ever crashed a PC due to a program bug under Linux. It's quite hard to do. Obviously the application can crash, but the OS keeps running, you can run the application under a debugger, etc. > That's true! That's why our 4E4th-IDE supports thoroughly testing each > word.

The issue is setting up the conditions for a test, and having to interrupt your train of thought to switch from coding to testing. I don't think it's good to write 20 pages of code without testing, but I'd like to be able to express an entire thought at a time, usually corresponding to more code than a typical one or two line Forth word. > 20kB of program - that was a huge program those days.

How > long did it take you to properly learn how it works and to use it? The first thing you need is good error messages, i.e. "you tried to divide by zero in procedure foo at line 23; the stack trace is ..." saying what foo's other args were, and how the program got to there. I don't remember having too much trouble figuring out how to use debuggers either, and I never even used the fancy graphical ones (sort of a regret of mine). > Thanks for all your efforts!

May be if you write it for one character only. I just did it as an exercise, it was about 9.5 minutes from start to finish to write it in Python, though I cheated because I already had the Forth program I'd written earlier. I pasted a few lines from it (the table giving the morse alphabet) and re-implemented basically the same logic. So having the Forth code ahead of time probably saved me a few minutes. > The morse code program presented for the SVFIG has all standard morse > code characters and a lot of extras.

Well I'd be interested to know what kinds of things they are doing and what kind of reception the Launchpad is getting with them. > 4E4th allows to start the ultra low power low speed mode using 4E4th > words. So it may be used in 4E4th application programs. Oh great, that helps. But the ultra low speed mode is just a few khz cpu clock, so I wonder if 4e4th is fast enough even for something simple like an RTC. Do you know if it can read the GPIO pins at that low speed and power level? My application is going to require listening for some pushbutton-like events for long periods while using very little power. > Do you know how SMD placing machines work?

Hm, there are also some through-hole parts on the board, but ok, I'll defer to your hardware knowledge about this. > But the main thing is that these programmers have to be elite > programmers because of the complexity of the products they are working > on, and I am sure you are one of them. My observation is that the > number of elite programmers doesn't grow – the crew of elite > programmers moves forward with the advances of technologies - leaving > the others behind. I don't think I'm an elite programmer, but I manage to keep doing useful things. Lots of other programmers who are even less elite than me are out there programming PHP and Javascript and so on. It doesn't take an elite programmer to write a Flash animation. It instead takes an existing environment that abstracts away the low level details that would overwhelm the non-elite programmer. > Forth is the programming language which is stripped off from all > unnecessary attachment and distraction leaving pure logic to work > with. Our 4E4th-IDE replicates that tradition, making real programming > fun and easy. At the beginner level I see Forth as great for explaining what a computer is doing at the lowest level (the language is pretty complex but most of the complexity can be ignored). At a much higher level there's languages like Javascript, which lets beginners write animations and games easily by keeping low level stuff out of sight. Even BASIC is much simpler than Forth at relatively trivial things: 10 INPUT "What is your name? ", A$ 20 PRINT "Hello ", A$, "!" I don't see much sense in attempting a continuous progression from low-level to high-level programming, if that's what you have in mind. They are separate areas of programming and trying to get them to meet in the middle takes a lot of experience and "eliteness". Anyway, I'm not trying to disrespect what you're doing--I still think it's great. I just think the most suitable target audience is probably people like me rather than newbies. ;-).
