[Anke Stüber]

Hi all,

you're invited to the Update Computer Club[0] public lecture series
"Updateringar"[1]!

When:   2024-03-23, 19:00 CET
Where:  Svartbäcksgatan 65, 753 33 Uppsala
Stream: https://bbb.cryptoparty.se/b/upd-0mo-m2u-aq8

Forth – Your favourite programming language that you don't know yet
The talk introduces Forth, a curious programming language that quite
possibly doesn't look like any other language you have seen. Despite
never quite making it into the mainstream in its 54-year life so far, it
has made it into space on several occasions, including on the ESA
asteroid-lander Philae, the NASA Saturn probe Cassini, and the Swedish
satellite Freja. Both a language and an interactive development
environment, Forth takes a minimalist approach to syntax (there isn't
any) and provides maximum flexibility for you to develop your own
application-specific languages very close to the hardware. It's hard not
to like it!
Bjarni Juliusson (Update)

The lecture is free and open to everyone.
