| | MUF For Hackers - MUF For Hackers Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | MUF attempts to maximize the traditional strengths of Forth family languages, such a simple, transparent, highly customizable compilers, while fixing many of its traditional weaknesses, such as lack of local variables and frequent use of the RESET button during debugging. |
 | | MUF has somewhat C-style control structures, C-style printf formatting, modern datastructures including Lisp-style lists and objects with multiple inheritance, internal pre-emptive multitasking, a limited infix path notation that overcomes some of the worst verbosity problems of traditional Forths, and a sophisticated exception handling facility. |
 | | MUF is particularly appropriate for interactive throwaway hacking, since it is concise, evaluates expressions right-to-left exactly in the order you type them, and publishes intermediate states visibly on the stack as you go. |
