Colorforth.

You probably know colorforth. It's a forth but where you program by also using the color of the characters as input data. Strangely some people when confronted to colorforth, put themselves to the defensive and calls this language discriminatory to the minority, the colorblind minority. This is strange because being programmers, so supposedly good learners, these people should know that CHuck Moore is nearly blind and distingue colors better than characters shapes. So in a sense colorforth has been made, (by chuck moore) to enable someone nearly disable by an handicapt to continu to program.

Here"s an example of color froth: http://www.colorforth.com/ide.html
It is an ide driver.
Color forth is a forth, and forth is well good to make operating systems.
I don't see a lot of forth OSes here, I don't know why.

One of the founding members of DexOS (CRC) is into forth and code a Retroforth to run on DexOS, but this port has not been updated for along time.

We also have another member (redaman from Argentina ) who is porting his forth to DexOS, its called "reda4".

The idea of using color to represent varying aspects of a language blows my mind. In a way, it opens up another level of describing something, almost of the same essence that is 3D.

Don't focus on the technical, just think of the theoretical and it really seems like an interesting concept.

retroforth is interesting.
The state machine code can always be recompiles to pure machine code.
My OS will have a forth.
