Bashforth is a free Forth interpreter, written entirely in the bash scripting language. It requires bash v2.04 or higher. Its virtual machine makes use of string threading. Now there's even real object oriented programming available for BashForth, by means of the SmallOOPS extension to Bashforth, which allows you doing interactive OOPS programmng from your bash prompt.
