> I think the win here - these days - for Forth is in things like "running on small embedded devices"

In principle that's not a bad idea, it's just that you're at least 40 years late to the party. FORTH was and propably is used in embedded systems for most of it's existence. Often simply with a minimal text console over UART, that being your "way in". Once you've got that going you can start builing up your system from the inside.



Being late to the party is the story of my life, but fwiw, I was aware that FORTH was used a lot in this kind of use-case ;)
