Sure. Adobe postscript is a thread interpretative language (TIL). It looks
very much like FORTH if you squint real hard.
Also, old DEC Fortran looks very TILish if you didn't use the option
to generate native PDP-11 code. ;)
My own 6502 emulator written in 68K asm looks very TILish as well. ;)

There are still plenty of Forth implementations based on threading (of words). On Apr 29, 2016, at 3:01 PM, ben <bfranchuk at

I liked Forth when it was still threaded.

Base FORTH is not, in and of itself, threaded. PolyFORTH was if memory serves. Then
again, creating a thread scheduler (cooperative scheduler) for FORTH is just a modest
exercise for the programmer.
