Blue is a compiled low level [[Forth]]-like language that is designed for building programs without a standard library. Currently the x86-64 instruction set is supported. Example programs utilize Linux system calls but nothing in the language requires or assumes an operating system.
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
The instructions and registers of the instruction set being used are exposed as words in the dictionary allowing them to be referenced like any other defined word. These instructions combined with a small number of words predefined by the compiler form the first building blocks for your program. From there the abstractions and vocabularies defined are up to the programmer.
