I still use a version of FORTH as an embedded debug tool, have done for several different CPU architectures over the years. I wrote some extensions that help to offset the "double edged sword with no handles" danger, such as local methods, call/return prototypong (basically formalize=ing the conventional word definition comment, which I also snag as is into definitions as a help string) that garuntees stack frame handling on entry and exit. Also wrote an auto-translater for C wrappers of function calls and struct definitions to get symbolc interaction with the code being debugged. Really speeds up behavioral debugging (Real Time systems have to be runnig to diagnose, not halted and flayed open on the operating table like breakpoint debugging does).
