Adding gnaw under Non-standard Forth implementations, which is where I think it honestly belongs — it borrows Forth's model but makes no claim to the standard (no
IMMEDIATE/POSTPONE, noCREATE/DOES>, no vocabularies, and the README says so plainly).It's a small language in Rust: whitespace-separated words, data stack,
: name ... ;, a separate return stack (>r r> r@),if/else/then,begin/until, counteddo/loopwithi, and aseedisassembler. Single-pass compiler (jumps back-patched from a stack of pending holes, no AST) into a bytecode VM.What makes it not-just-another-toy-Forth is the set of built-in words for byte transforms used in CTF and reverse-engineering work —
hex>bytes,xorkey(repeating key),rot13,b64encode/b64decode,brute(all 256 single-byte XOR keys, filtered by a text heuristic), andslurpto pull a real file in. They share one( addr len -- addr len )shape so they compose:There's a WebAssembly playground if it's easier to try than to clone. No hard feelings if you'd rather keep the list to more established implementations.
