Matthias Koch Reginald Beardsley  Mecrisp is an implementation
of forth for the TI MSP430 and various members of the ARM
family. It is written in the general spirit of ANS which urges
the implementor to do what makes sense for their tasks and
users.  The forth language was invented by Charles H. Moore in
1968-1970 to provide a means for conveniently programming the
radio telescope at Kitt Peak. From that beginning, forth has
become a popular language for implementing embedded systems as
well as other tasks.    Chuck once wrote that he considered 4k
word system quite adequate for most tasks. This is approximately
what is available on the G2553 chip.  Much more information
about forth can be found at:   A set of exercises with the G2553
