I have most of a very efficient 32 bit Forth for ARM working. I jut have 
never finished making it ANS compatible since I'm a dinosaur who was happy 
with FigForth and then Forth79, let olone Forth83 and Forth98 and ANS Forth. 
They just get more complicated and add more "features."

I have never been anywhere near as productive in instrumentation work as when 
I used Forth. I Find myself comparing my C coding to Forth productivity and 
it is very frustrating.
