I think the Forth is more tuned to the "single" developer (sub)projects. <br /><br />I tend to work alone on most of my projects, so the main concern is making my code readable/maintainable for those that follow me (i.e. maintenance).<br />toddbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551771132277351922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-48242908211127348322013-09-21T20:11:45.401-04:002013-09-21T20:11:45.401-04:00I'm with you.

It's fast to write, it takes up little memory, it runs fast... what more do you need?<br /><br />Its biggest problem is that if you have a team of programmers all writing Forth, each of them must exercise much discipline in documenting their code, or else each programmer ends up rewriting their own version of each low-level routine. It's possible to write in a team, but too often the code grows to a few times the size it need be (and the coding time multiplies as well).<br /><br />--HHamachisn'tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16578308.post-16121312752725591192012-12-27T15:46:54.444-05:002012-12-27T15:46:54.444-05:00If your C compiler is adding libraries that do thi...If your C compiler is adding libraries that do things to keep your MCU awake, you are using the wrong C or the wrong MCU.
