       RETRO is a clean, elegant, and pragmatic dialect of Forth. It provides
       a simple alternative for those willing to make a break from legacy
       systems.
       
       The language draws influences from many sources including traditional 
       Forth systems, cmForth, colorForth, Factor, and Parable. It was
       designed to be easy to grasp and adapt to specific uses.
       
       The basic language is very portable. It runs on a tiny virtual
       machine (Nga), which is written in C. There are multiple interface
       options, the main one (rre) is buildable with just the standard C
       compiler and libraries on most systems.

       Repository
       
       Development is tracked using a Fossil repository.
       
       Clone the repo:
       
         fossil clone http://fossils.retroforth.org:8000/nga retro.fossil
       
       And open it:
       
         mkdir retro
         cd retro

       I develop and maintain versions for iOS and macOS. These run the same
       image and virtual machine as all of the other systems, but add a
       custom editor-centric interface and some additional words to make
       them more useful on their respective platforms.
