What’s the plan with meow-forth?

the original intent with meow-forth was to make it usable enough to implement polymorphOS kernel drivers using it. i had that somewhat working before starting the rewrite, to the point where i had it embedded in polymorphOS and had a basic serial port driver written in forth.

the rewrite still is nowhere near finished, but once it's more feature complete, it'll be used in the same way - embedded in polymorphOS. the whole thing is designed to be extremely extensible by anything that embeds it, which is why using it for polymorphOS is easy.

an idea i had a while back while working on it was to get it to the point that i can write basic scripts in meow-forth's dialect of forth, instead of writing shell scripts for stuff. somewhat silly idea, but hey, if i get it complete enough to be able to do that, it's well beyond the stage of being just "something i'm doing for fun"
