This layer adds basic support for the Forth family of languages to spacemacs.
- Syntax highlighting
- Showing meaning of objects in context of the current
Forthsession. - Eval of entire files or regions in current
Forthsession. - Passing interactive commands to current
Forthsession.
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add forth to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this
file.
A local installation of Forth needs to be present as well. GNU Forth is
commonly available on Unix systems via the package manager. To bypass the query
when calling run-forth, the default Forth can be configured by setting the
appropriate variable.
