4 A hobby scheme interpreter for FORTH 83. Specifically it is targeted at
5 [forth.jl](http://github.com/tgvaughan/forth.jl) which is an implementation
6 of FORTH on top of [Julia](http://www.julialang.org), hence the name.
7 At the moment it is a fairly direct port of Peter Micheaux's [Bootstrap
8 Scheme](https://github.com/petermichaux/bootstrap-scheme) (as described in
9 [this wonderful series of blog posts](http://peter.michaux.ca/articles/scheme-from-scratch-introduction))
10 from C to forth, but I plan to go a bit beyond this by implementing some
11 nice features like garbage collection, macros and a more complete numerical
12 tower to bring it closer to [R5RS](http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/).
