| | Threaded code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some programmers consider the byte codes used by.NET, Java, Basic and some C compilers to be token-threading. |
 | | Threaded code is used in the Forth and early versions of the B programming languages, as well as many implementations of FORTRAN, BASIC, COBOL and other languages for small minicomputers. |
 | | In systems with virtual memory (where memory is simulated with a mechanical disk drive), threaded code may be hundreds of times faster than a less-compact design that does not fit in the available physical memory, because disk drives tend to be roughly a thousand times slower than random-access memory (RAM). |
