Re: [colorforth] Eight instruction Turing-complete programming language

["Roman Pavlyuk \(personal\)" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not think that the idea behind ColorForth is pure minimalism, it's
rather an extremely healthy pragmatism.

Let me give an analogy. As we know, either NOR or NAND operation consitutes
a complete system of boolean functions (Pierce arrow, Sheffer stroke), but
ColorForth does not use them, despite they're minimal. F21 and ColorForth
use XOR and AND and INVERT instead :)

I just thought because it was so minimal, Chuck might be interested in it
since he does very minimalist things.  It was not a miss post just perhaps a
bad idea.
