Abstract
Forth is a simple, natural computer language. It has achieved remarkable acceptance where efficiency is valued. It evolved in the 1960s on a journey from university through business to laboratory. This is the story of how a simple interpreter expanded its abilities to become a complete programming language/operating system.
Forward 1999
This paper was written for the HOPL II (History of programming languages) conference. It was summarily rejected, apparently because of its style. Much of the content was included in the accepted paper [Rather 1993].
This HTML version was reformatted from the original typescript. Minimal changes were made to the text. Examples of source code were suggested by reviewer Phil Koopman. They've not yet been added.
