Line 2: ---- ~~The~~In [[computer science]], the term '''''threaded code''''' refers to an implementation technique for [[programming language]]s that produces very compact code (at the expense of some speed). It is used in the [[Forth programming language\|Forth]] and early versions of the [[B programming language\|B]] programming languages.
