Combining Postscript and Forth
Thanks to Doug Girling, whose background contributes to our corporate
understanding of the problem of combining two similar but not equal
langages.
My first response is that the magnitude of this project might warrant
bending one standard to include the other's. For rapid prototyping, it
might be possible to simply avoid using things that conflict, or include
clumsy code workarounds at the expense of speed or versatility.
In any event some good programming will be required. But that's old
fashioned, mainframe type thinking.
How about two processors? One handles the data stream and executes
FORTH, passing PS/GS off to the other. Multiprocessing is what this is
all about, as Sherwin Gooch recently noted.
