This software is part of the GNU Project.

Gforth is the Forth implementation of the GNU project. Gforth uses GCC to compile a fast direct or indirect threaded Forth; Gforth is fully ANS FORTH compliant. Authors of Gforth are Anton Ertl, Bernd Paysan, Jens Wilke, Neal Crook, David Kühling and others.

The goal of the Gforth Project is to develop a standard model for ANSI Forth. This can be split into several subgoals:

  • Gforth should conform to the ANSI/200x Forth standard.
  • It should be a model, i.e. it should define all the implementation-dependent things.
  • It should become standard, i.e. widely accepted and used. This goal is the most difficult one.


To achieve these goals Gforth should be

  • Similar to previous models (fig-Forth, F83)
  • Powerful. It should provide for all the things that are considered necessary today and even some that are not yet considered necessary.
  • Efficient. It should not get the reputation of being exceptionally slow.
  • Free.
  • Available on many machines/easy to port.
