I've already done that---ANS Forth for the 6809 (https://github.com/spc476/ANS-Forth).

This is a strange article imo.

I was expecting to see FORTH in bare metal C or ASM.

There is a common myth about newbie programmers that FORTH is write-only and that you need to type everything in one line, without comments or function calls etc.

Writing forth is super easy especially if you have a stack machine at your disposal. For example when you are building your own virtual cpu/architecture with assembler and compiler.

It's more trivial than to understand any JavaScript framework lol

Research FORTH more guys - it doesn't need to be strange and hard :)

ps. Lisp SUCKS
