This week is about exploring the Mecrisp implementation of Forth, which runs on a range of ARM Cortex microcontrollers:

As a language it’s quite fascinating, but as a programming context, Forth is actually in a league of its own - an amazing fit for µCs!

There’s a lot to write about, let’s get started!

As you will see, Forth is a rabbit hole which comes with its own universe. Go down into it, and it’ll change your perspective of how software and hardware can work together!
