Can someone ELI5 (or at least ELI20): Why does Forth do better on a different CPU architecture than other languages? Or, why does Forth do worse on the architecture that most other languages do fine on?
But if you're working in Forth, everything is stack ops anyway, you wouldn't benefit much from that kind of analysis, and really a stack-based CPU is going to give you the most speed because the most common operations boil down to a single instruction per.
Chuck Moore doesn't mind this because he writes literally everything in Forth. Most of us who work in other languages would mind the performance hit.
But IIRC so is JVM (Java), CIL (C#), and Python's bytecode, so why did op single out Forth and omit those?..
