Forth is a structured, imperative, stack-based, computer programming language and programming environment. Forth is sometimes spelled in all capital letters following the customary usage during its earlier years, although the name is not an acronym.

Some Forth implementations (usually early versions or those written to be extremely portable) compile threaded code, but many implementations today generate optimized machine code like other language compilers.

Forth: An underview
This document is intended to give an informal overview of the Forth programming system and perhaps more importantly, the method and philosophy of programming in Forth. It illustrates the language's history, most prominent features, usage, etc. We also describe the most common implementation method (based on the PolyForth system from FORTH, Inc.).
