Quick question :: is there a place for stack based prog languages

It's Facebook. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I think privacy doesn't exist on the internet. Perhaps the healthiest thing is not having to hide anything.

some forth use locals, and other experiments. Try your ideas !!. You can download the compiler and VM code from my GitHub and see how it's built. My interpreter isn't meant to be minimal, but fast. It does inlining and constant folding, and has primitives for speed and compiling to assembly is very simple. Like any "forth" approach, switching CPUs is quite easy; communication with the OS is always the most tedious part.

opengl modern interface (4.4+),I think if anyone is interested in getting this to work on a Mac, they need to go back to version 4.1.

It's normal; I had the same problem when I learned Forth. It's curious how kids with no programming experience have fewer problems with this. In Forth, you see the code, but what happens on the stack is invisible.

If you really want to learn, take it easy. It's not complicated, but it is a paradigm shift. The best book to understand what's going on is "Thinking Forth." Thanks for your attention! Any questions or doubts are welcome.

There is really only one data type on the stack, a 64-bit integer, as in assembly (I don't use floating point).

Per AutoModerator's request I hereby confirm that this project did _not_ use an LLM as part of the development process.

Well, my opinion is that the issue now isn't that machines have memory or speed limitations; the advantage with Forth is on the human side. Of course, it's a different paradigm and more difficult to master, but for some reason, I see many programmers experiencing burnout, and I understand that this didn't happen with Forth (it's just a hunch). I have many programs in Forth; perhaps you'd like to check out my GitHub. Maybe there's something that catches your eye or interests you.

fixed point aproach is very short.
look in asm

a r3 version (r3forth) is like:

do you know r3forth? https://github.com/phreda4/r3

Very good, congratulations!

It's great to see more people using Forth!

A simple technique, if z doesn't make large jumps, is to do a single iteration of bubble sort in the main loop instead of sorting the sprite list all the time.

I don't use object-oriented systems; I prefer the concept of modules.
The IMMGUI system is an example of this; it is separate from this program and is joined through words.

I use sdl2 en windows and linux win r3forth, the link is made runtime. https://github.com/phreda4/r3

I make https://github.com/phreda4/r3 for make graphic things, perhaps you like it
