Forth

Forth is a computer programming language designed for efficiency and flexibility, often used in embedded systems. It uses a simple, stack-based approach where operations are performed by pushing and popping data from a stack. Its syntax is concise, composed of words (commands) that can be defined and combined to create complex functions. Forth's environment allows programmers to extend the language easily, making it powerful for controlling hardware and real-time applications. Its minimalist design results in fast execution, but it requires a different way of thinking compared to more common languages, emphasizing direct control over machine resources.
