Description
RETRO is a clean, elegant, and pragmatic dialect of Forth. It provides a simple alternative for those willing to make a break from legacy systems.
The language draws influences from many sources including traditional Forth systems, cmForth, colorForth, Factor, and Parable. It was designed to be easy to grasp and adapt to specific uses.
The basic language is very portable. It runs on a tiny virtual machine (Nga), which is written in C. There are multiple interface options, the main one (rre) is buildable with just the standard C compiler and libraries on most systems (tested at various points on Linux, NetBSD, macOS, and Windows, on x86, x86-64, PPC [emulated], and various ARM processors).
Install
As a binary package — by origin, or by package name:
pkg install lang/retro12
pkg install retro12From the ports tree:
cd /usr/ports/lang/retro12/ && make install cleanTo depend on this port in another port's Makefile:
RUN_DEPENDS= retro12>0:lang/retro12Packages
The version each package repository carries. “-” means the repository builds no package of it, “n/a” that there is no such repository.
