Maja Kądziołka, compiler criminal at large

The human mind is a fascinating thing.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

A typical Forth system provides a simple exception handling mechanism, in which a single integer, that identifies the exception, is thrown.

Considering Forth's low-level nature, some might consider it surprising how well-suited it is to handling exceptions.

...though it's not the flagship borrow checking that's at fault.

Last time, we started from the barebones Miniforth kernel, and implemented branches by writing additional primitive words in assembly.

The set of words available after Miniforth boots is quite bare-bones.

Software is full of circular dependencies if you look deep enough.
