Languages

▼ Available Programming Languages ▼

Forth

Forth is a simple yet powerful programming language using postfix syntax. Forth allows the interpreter and compiler to reside on the target hardware, giving you the ability to interactively define new routines and immediately execute and debug them.

C

The C language is a procedural programming language with facilities for structured programming. It provides low-level access to memory, including memory-mapped control registers. Mosaic's computers run two types of C, Control-C for v4 kernels, and GNU C for v6 kernels.
