Language Overview

Forth Comparison

Niko is very similar to Forth: stack manipulation core eval loop, dictionary structure and many syntax elements come from it.

Niko differences from Forth are:

• all values are vectors
• words are represented as vectors too (lisp like)
• Niko doesn't try to self-host
• low-level concepts such as return stack are not exposed
