Talking of Forth, it is worthwhile to note that Postscript as implemented
by Adobe for laser printers and subsequently for photo-typesetters, etc is
a very good example of Forth-like system running on bare metal and
providing an application specific programming + operating environment.
Years ago,
That's very neat !
You might want to consider using a derivative of that PDP-11 work in a IoT
(Internet of Things) context.
IoT devices really need a better programming environment than that provided
by Arduino development tools.
