Also, I somehow hadn't seen the second half of your comments (was helping a toddler fall back to sleep).
I am a fan of what forth can do, but I find the language lacking. With a tiny bit of total code (i.e. 2-3 thousand lines) I've already made a "better" language: github com/civboot/fngi. Definitely WIP, but I'm already writing "code" in it.
As for what I'm looking for... anything really. So far the project has mostly been just me, so anything you wanted to contribute would be great. What I thought you would be specifically good at from you comment is outlining the technologies needed to get to precision engineering and semiconductor fabrication, which btw would probably be cold temperature (<300C) thin film lithography on glass or similar. These could include:
Creation of vacuums
Methods of manufacturing: lathes, CNC, molds, etc and how they have to be changed to do ultra precision manufacturing.
Manufacturing and purification of chemicals
Manufacturing and testing of optics (for patterning and precision engineering)
Precision measurements, including telescopes, oscilloscopes, scales, etc
I mean, the sky is the limit. Just understanding the problems and how it is both solved now as well as the history of solving it will be extremely valuable for simplification to the Civboot requirements.
