@brouhaha@mastodon.social So, you're not really loading them for executing, but parsing them for linking?
Having a relocatable code for dynamically loadable modules would make so much sense that it might even be a good idea to steal one from the 8086 world or just hand-roll something minimalistic.

@brouhaha@mastodon.social FWIW, I've sometimes had dreams of a CP/M-like OS that had a Forth kernel inside, and exposed a Forth-like interface as a part of its API, so a lot of its apps' auxiliary files such as configuration and user scripts were text files. Slightly Unix-like as user convenience went, but without the cost of going full Fuzix. @stefanie@social.anoxinon.de
