Specifically it is targeted at [forth.jl](http://github.com/tgvaughan/forth.jl) which is an implementation of FORTH on top of [Julia](http://www.julialang.org), hence the name. It began life as a fairly direct port of Peter Micheaux's [Bootstrap Scheme](https://github.com/petermichaux/bootstrap-scheme) (as described in [this wonderful series of blog posts](http://peter.michaux.ca/articles/scheme-from-scratch-introduction)) from -C to forth.
