And, gforth would be an ideal candidate for that since it uses C. Does it let you compile to machine code? In 2009, Anton said that gforth couldn't produce standalone Forth executable applications. One source claims the relative speed of gforth is six times slower than C. Another source provides data that gforth-fast is 8.5 times slower than GCC -O3 compiled C code. You also need to take into account that GCC is not known for producing especially fast compiled C code, as compared to other C compilers, like OpenWatcom. So, if all that's true, the real question is why would want GCC compiled gforth code in C? I.e., slow. Rod Pemberton
