Like Forth? :)
I am the author of mary, an optimizing native code Forth compiler for
the mid range PICs. Right now the development has stopped due to a job
switching matter, but I intend to continue as soon as I can. I'll
announce the new version the same moment it's available.
For those of you that already know of mary (hi, Wojciech), the good
news are that the new (alpha) version will come with full bank
switching support for the 16F877 and family. In fact, it supports 4
banks, and I think in the future could be extended for 16 banks in
order to make a high range PIC compiler. But don't hold your breath on
this, first is first and I have to finish this version.
I hope the new version (1.0a60) will be ready in a few weeks (maybe
sooner). The documentation is being migrated to Lyx, in order to be
exported to popular formats. Yes, I know there is DocBook, but I think
Lyx and latex2html will be fine. The export mechanism from Lyx to
DocBook has some caveats right now.
Just to show mary is not dead :) http://mary.pepix.net/ or try
http://www.pepix.net/proyectos/glazz/mary/ if the former doesn't work.
Regards.
