Created attachment 189910

=3Dedit
A shell archive with the new lang/RETRO port (RETRO, RETRO/Makefile,
RETRO/pkg-descr, RETRO/distinfo, RETRO/files, RETRO/files/pkg-message.in)

It is a port of an actively developed dialect of Forth called RETRO.

The official description from the website[1]:

RETRO is a clean, elegant, and pragmatic dialect of Forth. It provides a si=
mple
alternative for those willing to make a break from legacy systems.

The language draws influences from many sources including traditional Forth
systems, cmForth, colorForth, Factor, and Parable. It was designed to be ea=
sy
to grasp and adapt to specific uses.

The basic language is very portable. It runs on a tiny virtual machine (Nga=
),
which is written in C. There are multiple interface options, the main one (=
rre)
is buildable with just the standard C compiler and libraries on most systems
(tested at various points on Linux, NetBSD, macOS, and Windows, on x86, x86=
-64,
PPC [emulated], and various ARM processors).

Testing:

- `port test /usr/ports/lang/RETRO` does not show any warnings.
- `portlint -AC` says that the port looks fine.
