Edit: 8th

[[https://8th-dev.com|8th]] is a Forth derivative language, designed for cross-platform applications development and security. It is a commercially-licensed product, with both free and paid versions. The syntax is more similar to [[http://dev.ronware.org/p/reva|Reva Forth]] than to ANS Forth (since 8th's author is also the author of Reva Forth), but with a number of distinguishing features. -First, unlike other Forths, 8th does not have a "CREATE ... DOES>" construct. -Second, it does not provide direct access to the system memory or to an assembly language. -Third, it has a rather extensive type system, including dynamically resized strings, "objects" (the equivalent of "maps" or "associative arrays" in other languages) and many other built-in types. -Fourth, all required libraries are built-in (GUI support, crypto etc). -Finally, it uses JSON to describe data. So for example, [{ { "one" : "this is number one" } }] describes an object with the key "one" and value "this is number one". 8th currently supports desktop (Windows, OS X and Linux), mobile (Android and iOS), embedded (Raspberry Pi and similar ARM-Linux) and server (Linux) systems, using the same code.
