Abstract: Forth advocates often claim that Forth code is
smaller, faster, and requires less development time
than equivalent programs in other languages. This
paper investigates this claim by comparing a number
of parser generators written in various languages
with respect to source code size. The smallest
parser generator (14 lines) in this comparison is
written in Forth, and the other Forth program is
smaller than the others in its class by a factor of 8
or more; however, the Forth programs do not
