I don't know Smalltalk. I think I read a comparation some time ago.
AFAIK they internally work quite differently.

As a slightly younger person (relative to the mailing list for a niche 80s
micro, anyway) I'd no concept of the syntax or semantics of Forth until I
read your site and a few sources on from that.
Would it be fair to describe Forth as the procedural analogue of Smalltalk?
I'm thinking specifically

Forth isn't main stream, and SAM Coupé isn't popular neither. Logically
their intersection has to be almost invisible [:-)].

I found out the "immediate" bit: it's the 7th bit of the byte that holds
the name length.
The task progresses faster than expected. I'll inform again onl

Hi all,
SamForth seems a clever implementation of the language. Forth words are
direct Z80 rutines (contrary to many other 8-bit implementations, the
Z80 stack is used as Forth return stack and the Forth data stack is
handled apart), thus Z80 code can be easily mixed with Forth code.
