I don't have recent experience with Forth, but traditionally, Forth didn't require such a "beefy" machine as a C programming environment.

For instance here's a fairly complete Forth environment in around 10 KBytes running on an 8-bit home computer. There was no C compiler at all for that machine, and if there would be, working with it would be a lot more hassle than a Forth REPL.

What's the appeal today, I don't know. But I'm in the "curly braces" camp. If I'd be a Lisp guy, Forth would probably be more appealing to me.

Aw, input is broken on mobile (Android + of course Chrome).

I'm getting a keyboard popup, and I appear to be typing somewhere offscreen (I can see a typing suggestion containing exactly what I've typed, which wouldn't happen if input wasn't going anywhere), but the text isn't appearing onscreen, then when I press Enter, I get an "OK" as though I'd hit Enter on a blank line... and the input I'd typed isn't cleared. So, "words <Enter> words <Enter>" shows "wordswords" in my keyboard's suggestion, and "OK\nOK\n" on the display.

Looks really cool though :D

Yeah no useful mobile support unfortunately. Plan is to replace the standard virtual keyboards (which don't have the necessary keys anyway) with a custom-rendered keyboard eventually.

Makes sense. I have a ZX Spectrum on my workbench and a copy of Sinclair Forth somewhere, maybe it will click for me in a more restricted environment.

Legend has it that Chuck Moore used to carry around a 3D wireframe CAD program...
