In a text editor, ColorForth looks like code would in a conventional colorcoded editor like Eclipse ,where keywords are a particular color. The big difference is that the latter associates a color based upon a word and its context.
In ColorForth, the programmer specifies the color to specify the use of the word, such as the name of a function definition. An interesting consequence of this approach is that the program must be presented in its color form or the context of the code is lost, whereas conventional programming languages do not care about the actual color a word is associated with.
Developers wanting to take advantage of the SEAforth-24 will definitely need to work in Forth. Depending upon the programmer's background, this will be either a great benefit or an ordeal. In general, Forth lends itself to compact code that will be critical to the success of the SEAforth-24.
The SEAforth-24's multicore architecture lets developers bring a large amount of computing power to bear while potentially reducing the overall power requirements. Letting sleeping cores lie will keep the chip cool and extend battery life. It will be interesting to see if the SEA approach evolves into a higher form or becomes a specialized branch.
