[OpenBIOS] Open Firmware / Forth

[William DUCK]

Hello,

I would want to rewrite an Open Firmware with Ficl or Factor. Will this be 
possible ?

SLOF :

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/power/library/pa-expert5/

Ficl :

http://ficl.sourceforge.net/

Factor :

http://factorcode.org/


Here is quote from a previous mail to one of the SLOF's developer :

> I know that Slimline OpenFirmware is written in Forth. Could Factor (
> http://factorcode.org/ ) be  a good alternative , or haskell ?

Open Firmware requires Forth, and Forth is a great fit to the
specific requirements of a boot firmware anyway.  Any language
that needs garbage collection of any sort is right out, completely
unsuitable.


Thank you for your answer,

Best Regards,

                                Will
