<p>As a user, here's what you'll need to understand about Forth to get started.
First, the primary programming language construct is a word. Words are
separated by spaces. A word has a definition, and we can call that word
directly. For example, we can type the word <code>words</code>, which prints all the words
in the current dictionary namespace:</p>
-<p><code>
-words
-</code></p>
+<p><pre>
+$ words
+</pre></p>
<p>Forth uses postfix notation, which means that arguments are placed before the
operator. For example, 2 + 3 in forth is instead written 2 3 +. Try it
yourself:</p>
-<p><code>
-2 3 + .
-</code></p>
-<p>The period is also a "word" that emits a number. The plus symbol is also a
+<p><pre>
+$ 2 3 + .
+</pre></p>
+<p><code>.</code> is also a "word" that emits a number. <code>+</code> is also a
"word". The number literals are not words, but again, this guide will not teach

+you Forth, just enough forth to interact with and hopefully get you interested in Dusk OS. If you're familiar with UNIX, you can see how Dusk OS's forth interpreter is sort of like a unix shell with reversed syntax.</p>
<p>So, we have our environment and we're able to execute words. Where do we start?
Let's list the files and directories at the current path.</p>
-<p><code>
-curpath :listdir
-</code></p>
+<p><pre>
+$ curpath :listdir
+</pre></p>
<p>Again, remember our postfix notation. The argument (which directory to target) comes before the operation (list files). Another example:</p>
<p><code>
-p" doc" Path :listdir
-</code></p>
-<p>Let's break this command down. <code>p"</code> is a word that says to interpret a string as a path until the next double quote. Path is a struct (see Dusk's <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/doc/struct.txt?view-source#L1">documentation</a> on structs), which allows us to access namespace word ":listdir". <code>curpath</code> is a <code>Path</code> that points to the current directory.</p>
-<p>In order to change directories, we run chdir. Try experimenting with these various commands to see how the Dusk filesystem is laid out.</p>

-p" doc" Path :chdir

+<p><pre>

+</pre></p>
<p>Now, let's write text to the buffer. This editor has a number of single-character helper words to handle writing. One of them is <code>I</code>, to insert text. Let's write:</p>
<p><code>

-o I love Dusk OS!
+$ o I love Dusk OS!

-<p>To read more of the buffer, we can print <code>pagesz</code> number of lines using the <code>p</code> word.</p>

+<p>To read more of the buffer, we can print <code>pagesz</code> number of lines using the <code>p</code> word. Let's move the cursor up 1 line and print what we have so far.</p>
+<code>
+$ 1 l- p
+</code>
+<p>
+If you want to play around with ed and ged further, I recommend reading the docs listed above.</p>
+
+<p>The POSIX emulator is quite limiting, for example: it is a read-only file system. For our next tasks, editing code and executing a C compiler, we will need to run Dusk on <a href="https://www.qemu.org/">QEMU</a>. Make sure you get qemu-system-i386 via your package manager, then run <code>make pcrun</code>. This is a more full-fledged dusk system running on emulated hardware.
+</p>
+
+<p>Let's start editing code. I'm going to use the root directory as our working directory. Let's make a forth file and a c file and execute both.</p>
+
+<pre>
+$ f<< text/ed.fs \ import ed.fs if it isn't already
+$ S" hello.fs" curpath :newfile \ Create a file
+$ f" hello.fs" edload \ Load it into the text buffer
+$ I : hello ." Hello, World!\n"; \ Write to the text buffer
+$ edsave \ save the text buffer to disk
+$ f<< hello.fs
+$ hello
+Hello, World!
+</pre>
+
+<p>We have written our first forth word and saved it to disk. Now, let's introduce Dusk's C compiler and compile a C program. Dusk's C compiler compiles C code to Forth words, smoothly integrating the two languages. For example, let's write an adder function and compile it in-line.</p>
+<pre>
+$ f<< comp/c/cc.fs \ import Dusk's C compiler
+$ :c int adder(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
+$ 4 5 adder . \ prints 9
+</pre>
+
+<p><code>:c</code> is a word that compiles C code directly from the forth interpreter. For more information about Dusk's C compiler and dialect of C, see the relevant <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/doc/cc/usage.txt">Dusk OS documentation</a>.
+<p>Finally, let's write our hello world program in C and save it to disk.</p>
+
+<pre>
+$ f<< comp/c/lib.fs \ import libc functions, including printf
+$ S" hello.c" curpath :newfile
+$ f" hello.c" edload
+$ I int helloc() { printf("Hello, C!\n"); return 0; }
+$ edsave
+$ cc<< hello.c
+$ helloc
+Hello, C!
+</pre>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
-<p>Now that we're here, what's the point? Why use this extremely austere system?
-Dusk OS gives you a deep understanding of the 'guts' of its sytem. It is not
+<p>Hopefully now you have the ability and interest to explore Dusk further.
+Dusk OS is still a new system and under active development and we have only
+scratched the surface here. Ultimately, Dusk OS is designed to run on bare
+metal, but currently the hardware that it supports is limited, although
+Raspberry Pi support is in progress. See the <a
+href="https://git.sr.ht/~vdupras/duskos/tree/master/item/fs/doc/deploy.txt">deploy
+guide</a> for more info.</p>
+
+<p>So, what's the point? Why use this extremely austere system?
+Dusk OS gives you a deep understanding of its underlying code. It is not
unreasonable for one individual to understand, articulate and modify everything
-that we did today down to the bare metal. This is simply inconceivable in a
-modern UNIX system. It gives you a deep level of mastery and connection with
-your computer that I think we have lost. You can gain any level of
-understanding of Dusk OS that you like -- there are parts that are beyond me at
-this point etc. A good place to go further is the <a href="https://duskos.org/">Dusk OS
-Documentation</a>. Some background knowledge in Forth and C
-are also required. If you lack that, I recommend "Starting Forth" and "The C
-Programming Language", respectively.</p>

<h1>Tech Stuff</h1>
+<p>
I am a technologist by trade and by passion. Networked computing defines our
era in serious and often concerning ways. I believe that we need a new
relationship to technology, one which is holistic and sustainable. Computing
today is largely defined by an ideology of extraction, exploitation and
domination, and I'm interested in tools that help us escape that ideology,
technology that allows for new forms of relating to each other and to our
-environment.
