The reason that your work is so interesting to me, is that I am huge fan of #CSP, Communicating sequential processors. #GoLang, #LuaLang and Python's #gevent are all based on CSP.. Modern cpu's do not support it well. The transputer supported it. We need Forth processors running CSP.

@PythonLinks That's one of the main reasons I'm fascinated by the transputer; as a solid platform for concurrent code. The systems you mention (Rust & Erlang have similarities too) are based on CSP, but don't provide the guarantees you'd have from occam programs. https://www.wotug.org/docs/jeremy-martin/ Not sure how these ideas could be added to Forth; there was another forth for the transputer, tForth, that added more of the capabilities.

You mentioned the transputers tforth.

I want to run that on these chips.

Thank you so much for mentioning that! I am so glad I reached out to you, and bothered you today! Well worth it.

@PythonLinks I looked for its source, when I was choosing a Forth to get running on my emulator, but could not locate it - and eForth was open, with an existing, experimental port. When I get eForth working, I'll look to add in the extra transputer-specific words that tForth has (or something like them).

There is a link from this page to the transputer forth. I downloaded it, but have not looked inside the zip file.
