wort

library0.1.8jsnpmunverified

Wort is a simple concatenative programming language that compiles to JavaScript. Version 0.1.8 is the latest stable release. The project appears to be in early development with infrequent updates. It provides a command-line tool to transpile .wort files into Node.js modules. Unlike other concatenative languages like Forth, Wort targets JavaScript runtime, making it accessible for web development. Its key differentiator is its minimalistic syntax and ease of integration with JavaScript via transpilation.

✗ const wort = require('wort')

Primary API is the CLI; API for programmatic use is undocumented.
