Retro is a concatenative, stack based language with roots in Forth.

It is designed to be small, easily learned, and easily modified to meet specific needs, it has been developed and refined through continual use by a small community over the last decade.


This blog is written in Retro and has served as my primary means of posting things concerning Retro since 2010. The core code for Corpse is included in the Retro releases and can be freely studied and deployed.

New Queries and a Question

Retro 11.4 (due out Saturday) will have a couple of new queries.

-16Returns the max depth of the data stack
-17Returns the max depth of the address stack

It has been suggested that the endian query may not be needed. If you use this in your code, please let me know. If no actual use cases are presented it may be removed from 11.5 and beyond.
