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. In addition, this interpreter has a mark-sweep garbage collector -and support for reading input from external files using a partial implementation -of Scheme's file ports. - -In future, I plan to also implement a macro system and a more -complete numerical tower to bring it closer to -[R5RS](http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/). - -The goal is for the interpreter to be complete enough to be used to complete -the majority of the exercises found in [SICP](http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/). - -This software is free (as in freedom) and is distributed under the terms -of version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
