This is completely unrelated to anything 6502-related, but I thought folks would find interest nonetheless.
Some people here might know that I used to have a blog on my website, falvotech.com, which was managed by Serendipity. At around July 2009, those subscribed to the blog would have seen a sharp decline in article traffic. Specifically, zero new content.
Readers of my older blog articles also knew my intentions of writing a blog in Forth. I mostly joked about it, but the intention was there.
In August 2009, I made good on a promise which has been standing for several years prior:
I revealed my new blog, written in Forth, for the first time to the rest of the world. Concurrently, I also revealed its engine: Unsuitable.
Well, a year later, and despite still only having 8 RSS followers, it seems to be generating a small amount of word-of-mouth buzz. I've been conscripted into giving a tech-talk on it at work, 2nd week of September. I'll see if I can get clearance to release the video publicly.
For those who grok Forth and web application development, you might be interested in how
I made it all work together. The complete source code is hosted on
BitBucket.
Anyway, I thought you folks might be interested in this. Unsuitable's reception at SVFIG was predictably warm, and where I work, surprisingly accomodating, despite the disbelief surrounding the use of Forth. OTOH, the
published performance metrics for the website, plus the fact that it worked at all, helped convince many to re-evaluate Forth as a viable programming language.
The
front-page to the blog also supports a link for its RSS feed as well.
