forthtranspiler

library1.0.7jsnpmunverified

A Forth-to-JavaScript transpiler that converts Forth source code into JavaScript with source mapping and unit testing support. This version 1.0.7 is a proof-of-concept with limited Forth vocabulary support, no recent updates, and no TypeScript definitions. It is primarily for educational or experimental use, not production. Alternatives like NodeForth or gForth may be more stable.
