Greetings,

I have recently made a GForth eval bot which you can use in ##forth channel on libera.chat . It's pretty much in beta state right now and has some weird rough edges. you can run arbitrary forth code using !gforth prefix.

feel free to give me some feedback :)

Neat! Can you give some getting started instructions here for someone who's forgotten basically everything they know about using IRC (and also doesn't know gforth at all)?

I tried msging the bot directly in ##forth, but didn't get any responses -- my syntax may be wrong or I'm not msging it properly?

Thanks.

to connect to an IRC server you would need a IRC client, the most straight forward way to connect to IRC is using the web interface (https://web.libera.chat/).

you have to send message with !gforth prefix, so for example if you want to add two numbers 1 and 2 you will write something like the following in the IRC channel.

!gforth 1 2 + .

don't forget to add period ( . ) at the end!

Weird... I joined the channel last night via Libera web chat, and tried that... nothing responded. I'll try again today and log what happens.
