I think you're responding to both Rickman and Raimond Dragomir, who are dealing with separate sets of issues. Rickman is quite aware of the commercial Forth options but found that Mecrisp filled his requirements. I think he knows that the commercial Forths have features and support that Mecrisp doesn't, but he didn't need it. I don't think he complained about commercial vendors; but rather, he just said that he found something non-commercial that did what he wanted, and indicated that maybe they hadn't kept up with the changing state of the market. Raimond on the other hand is programming a bigger system (8MB ram) and isn't looking to use Forth at all. The alternatives he mentioned (oForth, Factor, Lua, MicroPython) are all more "automated" than Forth: they manage far more of of the program's details than Forth does, which has a cost in hardware resources and program determinism. But on bigger processors and in some apps, that is often perfectly fine. So I think he understands the trade-offs enough to make a good decision regarding his own constraints. (Factor is FOSS by the way. I don't know about oForth. For non-FOSS Forth-inspired systems in this class, I'd add Ron Aaron's 8th to the list). > And if you have read the book Ting did recently it states that I got > him back into reviving the MSP430 again by connecting him to Klaus and > Dirk. But I assume you know this all. Which book is that? I didn't realize Ting had a new book out. I've looked at some of his older ones and found them very interesting.
