[REBOL] Re: The effect of learning Forth on my understanding of REBOL

From: anton:wilddsl:au at: 23-Mar-2007 13:12

Well, I'm learning Factor ("a practical stack language", similar to Forth), and it has some similar words to Rebol, like "append", "join", "reduce". I'm not sure but these probably have common roots in Lisp. Having the stack there just makes it obvious how the arguments are passed and returned. Implementing a DLL library interface for Factor clarified for me what compiled C code is in fact doing when it calls functions. Anton.
