Immemorialised
So many names, each
a life, forgotten, consigned
to oblivion;
all, whose epitaph exists
in Time's silent memory.

Study abroad benefits can be life-changing, in terms of retention, economic capital, and upward mobility. So why do so few Black men get that opportunity?Ira Porter (The Christian Science Monitor)
I worked on SLORTH, my 6502 Forth-like, after a long hiatus. Added some new debugger features basically straight out of the Apple II Monitor. It can now disassemble, dump memory, step instructions, view the SLORTH or 6502 stack, execute code, etc. It's even all colored and syntax highlighted! Not bad for 1.8 kB. :)
Forth is indeed the ideal language to write a Forth in. >_<
