JForth, for the Amiga, has its Object-oriented Development Environment
(ODE). Damn good forth all around, too, with a target compiler, C-like
structure definitions, 32-bit, JSR threading (with inline compilation),
hashed dictionary search, command line history, detachable dictionary
modules, automatic variables, full access to Amiga system libraries,
Motorola-format assembler, text and/or block files...the list goes on.
I don't even so much as look at the ol' C compiler anymore.
'Course, ya gotta have an Amiga.  :-)


No affiliation, just wild enthusiasm.
