User Reviews

  • I've was hoping that it uses ficl to process a stream of input as described, i.e. usable in a stream like awk and sed. However, the build is terrible, and it doesn't work on ArchLinux (which doesn't use /usr/local), assumes directory openssl appears directly under /usr/local/include and the library exists in /usr/local/lib. But most anoyingly, it uses autoconf/automake, which is supposed to deal with this kind of stuff. It builds on FreeBSD and works. But it writes the prompt ("ok") to the output. That breaks the stream processor notion. It's also not clear why a stream processor need a cli editor like tecla/editline/readline. It's quite disappointing because ficl is already doing all the work, you just need a simple wrapper on top.
  • Forth alternative to Lua for embedded scripting. Needs more and improved documentation. Compiles just fine on Linux.
  • That sounds interesting. But unfortunately I do not succeed as a beginner to compile under Linux. I tried it with Fedor and Debian. Ready Binäries it seems nowhere to enter. :-(
  • Amazing!
