On power up:
+ boots into a #ForthOS
+ command line & frame buffer UX

+ full documentation + source
+ boot loader (on halt/crash return here)
I had a little time to kick off a little project of detailing my Modern Forth Vision…
This is a just the first of a series where I look to capture son high level concept design for a Forth with a modern twist, like X86_64 OS, multithreaded application support, and a dictionary based HW abstraction layer. Take an App, run it like you would any os, or export the application with just enough of the code to make boot bare metal.

@h @vertigo I have managed to rebuild my #ForthOS and make screenshots of the built-in text editor (vi-like). There is one command (ZS) to switch between a normal screen (code ) and a shadow screen (comments): https://mastodon.social/media/zRKsFuCUT02EkxDVRYY https://mastodon.social/media/Ez_4bCuB34FNI15xKOs
That is how two alternate streams are handled in a classic Forth block editor
