STOIC (Stack-Oriented Interactive Compiler) is a 1970s programming language, a variant of Forth. ==History== STOIC started out at the MIT and Harvard Biomedical Engineering Centre in Boston, (part of the Health, Science and Technology Division) and was written in the mid 1970s by Jonathan Sachs.〔(Oral History Interview of Johnathan Sachs ) archived at the Charles Babbage Institute〕 Jonathan Sachs went on to be the principal programmer of Lotus Development and wrote the first version of Lotus 1-2-3. The original version of STOIC was written on a Data General Nova minicomputer and cross-assembled for the 8080. STOIC came with its own primitive but effective file system, and could be booted up with little preliminary work on any 8080-based microprocessor with 24K of memory and a Teletype machine. After the source was released into the public domain, the system was subsequently modified to run under CP/M. 〔Richard H. Mossip, The Stoic Language, Microsystems, Sep-Oct 1982, pp 90-95〕 STOIC was said at the time 〔Notes from the original CP/M Users Group Release〕 to be conceptually similar to FORTH in the use of an extensible vocabulary of words'.〔quoted in CPMUGUK, the Journal of the UK CP/M Users Group Nov 1980〕 STOIC is actually a rational, and more consistent, dialect of FORTH . The system was remarkable at the time for having a built-in assembler, floating-point package, interrupt handler, and display editor (similar to the Nova display editor).〔from the Documentation for Stoic, Feb 1977〕 The source, and documentation, was distributed for many years by the CP/M Users Group.〔 〕 As a practical development system, it compared favourably with contemporary implementations of FORTH,〔Go Forth, be STOIC, in the Journal of the UK CP/M User Group Nov 1980〕 and went on to be used extensively for the development of applications. A portable version written in C was placed in the public domain and also distributed by the CP/M Users Group (UK). Later STOIC was ported to the DEC VAX under VMS by Roger Hauck at Smithsonian Institution Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) and was distributed by DECUS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Re: Forth family tree (was: The future of Forth) )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UNTIL Reference Guide )〕 It was distributed at least through fall 1985. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=VAX-SPLIB-1 – The Special VAX Library Collection 1 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「STOIC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
