What are some good beginner projects which I cant take in Forth (preferably gforth)
which are not very large but will help me gain some more experience in this language and philosophy of thinking?
Hello I am software developer proficient in JS, Python, Java etc. I have great appreciation for the philosophy of stack-based Forth language and the philosophy of Chuck Moore. I know some Forth basics. What are some good beginner projects which I canttake in Forth (preferably gforth) which are not very large but will help me gain some more experience in this language and philosophy of thinking?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.First, read "Starting Forth". It will teach you to print a variable numbers of stars on

The problem is too many smart phones and not enough smart people.

The book doesn't make any
mention of structs, most likely because nobody at Forth Inc. knows what
a struct is. The book fails completely at showing the reader how to implement general-purpose data-structures, which is the primary reason
why the "Starting Forth" enthusiasts are lifelong incompetents.

smarter than a C64 next to a landline.
It's like your average CEO who's left to his own devices.

It's like your average CEO who's left to his own devices.It takes a certain talent to convince people they need a leader.

Good project to begin is ... what interest you.
I enjoy math problems and learned a great deal of solving projecteuler.net. Solving simple math problems helps to get the basic of the language
right. The primes, sieving of primes, factoring, greatest common dividers.
So, the real problem is not finding something that interests you.
The problem is finding something with real-world application that is
more complicated than a 'hello world' program with numbers.

I remember that Jeff Fox described Albert van der Horst as a "two-plus-two" >programmer. This was because Albert solves those Euler projects that have >already been solved, sometimes centuries ago. This is like writing a program >to calculate 2+2 --- you won't learn anything by doing this.
