Awesome!

I love FORTH and always have, despite never having ever built anything 'real' with the language.

I had FORTH for just about every computer system I've ever had across my 45ish years with computers. Kind of amazing when you think about it!

FIG Forth for Atari 8 bit
JForth for Amiga
Can't remember which for my 486 :)
And these days GForth

Nearly half a century of twiddling without ever having built anything :)

Have you ever looked at Factor? It's kind of an attempt to modernize FORTH?
