We moved our production server cluster (approximately 50 machines) over to 4os recently and the results have been great. Customers love it, the product is faster, easier to maintain, and new developers onboard quickly. We were able to get our existing team of 200 developers up to speed on Forth in about 30 days, and everything we do now is written in Forth for an OS built in Forth. For us it was a no brainer.

Poe's law corollary 135: Sufficiently advanced tech hipsterism is indistinguishable from satire.

Lol...think that was obvious satire

Aren't the horrors of legacy and the lines of tech hipsterism often blurry though? I was born late, I often look at things older than me for an understanding where stuff came from. But then I have to help out my boss' friend debugging this 15yo Microbus-centered DOS-Application running on a SuSE machine from just after the invention of fire, and I don't regret growing up on BASIC as much.

Do you deploy in forth containers, focker containers? and how do you manage a lot of fockers at once?

"how do you manage a lot of fockers at once?"

In a stack?

Probably more of a heap I would think.

You mean to imply you're not already using fockeros?

Check out http://fuckernetes.io/

You'd probably have a system that creates and manages the others. You could call it the mother focker.

Someone took "Go Forth and multiply" a little too literally, I would say.

(And then the lead developer lived to the age of 184, and begat Unfinished Company Software Port, who caused a stir in the legal department...)

Pleb. You're not truly doing things right until you've build custom servers using the CPUs that use Forth as their instruction set.

Built using the Forth EDA tools with booleanForth and realForth for modeling the mixed-signal circuits. All on a Forth CPU hand-assembled from a stack of transistors.

I thought we were transpiling forth to webasm.

lol, can someone write a generator that generates this kind of non sense ? This is the kind of bullshit statement that gets often upvoted on HN and I love it !

Just get Mark V. Shaney an account.

Is it enterprise?

Where did you get the 4os?
