EForth is a delightfully minimalist approach to Forth originated by Bill Muench and Dr. C. H. Ting.
ESP32forth - Version 6.3 for NodeMCU ESP32S - Tweaked for the Web
ESP32forth-6.3.0.ino - This has Dr. Ting's v6.3 version with WebUI added in to it.
EForth exclusively uses FOR..NEXT
in favor of DO..LOOP
.
Details
This construct has the odd property that it iterates one "extra" time for zero.
: FOO 10 FOR R@ . NEXT ; FOO 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 ok
To permit a more ordinary loop the AFT
word is used in the sequence
FOR..AFT..THEN..NEXT
.
: FOO 10 FOR ( 1st time only ) AFT R@ . THEN NEXT ; FOO 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 ok
The even more enigmatic FOR..WHILE..NEXT..ELSE..THEN
is used in place of DO..LEAVE..LOOP
.
It allows a while condition to early out of a counted loop.
