The article explores Mouse, a small interpreted stack-oriented programming language from 1975 designed for microcomputers, similar to Forth but simpler. It details its implementation on CP/M systems, highlighting its compact size (2k) and features like arrays, functions, and recursion. A 'Hello, World!' example illustrates Mouse's syntax and operation.
Background
Mouse was created in the mid-1970s as a minimalistic language for resource-constrained microcomputers, reflecting early efforts to develop efficient programming tools for limited hardware. CP/M was a dominant operating system for 8-bit computers during this era.
