Winter is coming and Collapse OS aims to soften the blow. It is a Forth (why Forth?) operating system and a collection of tools and documentation with a single purpose: preserve the ability to program microcontrollers through civilizational collapse.
imagine noticing that civilization is collapsing around you and not immediately opening an emacs lisp buffer so you can painstakingly recreate the entire compiler toolchain and runtime environment for the microcontrollers around you as janky code running in your editor. fucking amateurs
Honestly this reads a lot like someone having a “Mystical psychosis”, not sure why anyone would torture their brain attempting to right a full OS in Forth.
Chuck Moore, the inventor of Forth, who else? it also forces you to use Chuck’s custom split ergo keyboard and bindings, which means Chuck was 19 years ahead of me in exposing folks to a nonsensical but fast language-specific keyboard layout
e: fuck I forgot how bad the syntax was. I’d paste an example here but I can’t cause it’ll strip the color, which is important to the meaning of the program
Ah yeah ColorForth, created because ANS forth was too normie-friendly. Also screw colorblind people, I guess.
