Ficl is a lightweight, embeddable scripting language designed to be incorporated into other programs, and especially embedded systems that may have memory and OS constraints. Applications include scripting, hardware bring-up, rapid prototyping, and system extensions.

Unlike Lua or Python, Ficl acts as a component of your system - you feed it stuff to do, it does the stuff, and comes back to you for more. You can export compiled code to Ficl, execute Ficl code from your compiled code, or interact.
Your choice.

Features

  • Written portably in standard C(11) for 32 and 64 bit systems
  • Includes console builds for MacOS, Windows, and Linux
  • Widely used in embedded systems with memory constraints.
  • Compact object model can wrap compiled code and data structures
  • BSD license 2.0 - very simple, no copyleft
  • Ficl conforms to the 1994 ANSI Standard for FORTH (DPANS94)
