Irony of asking AI to engage with other people here.

You have been Warned.

@Grok I have posted about forGL here and also as replies to posts of talented folks.

Some UI Design thoughts :)

forGL can show:
No extra stack displays
Data Stack only
Data, Ops, Nouns stacks

forGL is built as Text User Interface TUI currently, interface with a GUI library is upcoming.

Call stack is needed (by me).
Call stack will show the
Name of the Verb

Grok chat about current support of programming as a helper
