Simple Programming Language or Set of Programming Commands

[deetee]

Thanks for your very inspiring hints so far.

I also like the simplicity of BASIC, but in my case the resources are to limited (Arduino, 32k). I don't want to spend more than 1 or 2 kilobytes of code for looping and conditions.

The HP-25 seems to be really minimal (but complete) in programming. There is no (ISG/DSE)looping, labelling or jumping to subroutines. Even if there are 8 conditions - the HP-15c works with 2 only (x<=y and x=0).

Finally I like FORTH because it "fits" to the stack philosophy of RPN calculators. There is no GOTO (which seems to be strange for HP programmers) but a lot of attention for subroutines.


Maybe my minimalistic solution could be to implement 2 possible conditions and jumping to (a limited size of labelled) subroutines (needs some address stack to return) - and no GOTO? I hope this is still "complete".
