So my son asks me last night, "Can you write a Forth in Prolog?" "Yes, but it would run awfully slowly." That should have been that, but it got me to thinking, that would be a pretty amusing demo of Prolog! I seem to recall it has been done before, but don't remember when or by whom. Seems like every Forth word would be coded in a form something like a_word([TOS|Rest_of_Stack],[New_TOS|New_ROS]) :- whatever, this, that, the_other. as in dup([TOS|Rest_of_Stack],[New_TOS|New_ROS]) :- prepend(TOS,[TOS|Rest_of_Stack],[New_TOS|New_ROS]). {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {} {} {} jax@well ."
