threaded, direct threaded or anything else - there could even be an OF implementation that compiles to real binary code, but that's not feasible for a multiplatform project...
It's feasible, just not easy, and not all that useful either (bigger _and_ slower code --> not a good idea ;) )
AFAIR from the discussions in the early nineties, OF should work similar to JAVA: either interpret the bytecode (slow/small/simple) or compile to native code (fast/big/complicated).
Have a look to MPEs VFX-compilers, they are doing the latter for Forth and i am rather sure, that the same _can_ be done for FCode.
and in another posting:
I (think I) have good reasons for all these design decisions...
I never had any doubts about it. Its just a fact, that i am so stupid, that i needed some additional info to understand :-)
