I'd built a device with an MSP430 and have been meaning to try CamelForth on it instead of using my own C code.

I'd be curious to try something else for easier testing at a higher level or even figure out how to run the 8086 in a virtual machine..

>> but GForth, the only accessible Forth, looks a bit unloved.

With something as stable as Forth, I'm not sure what kind of activity would indicate a project is active enough unless it is adapting to new or highly unstable architectures?

The last time I had a serious look at GForth, it lacked libraries that I needed for my own development needs at the time: http-client, sqlite/postgres, xml/json, gui etc. It only seemed to cater just to embedded folks. Pity, I actually like the way development is done in Forth.
