There's even a recipe posted in a couple of comments here:

I followed that guide to implement a simple FORTH-like system in golang:

As I was following the implementation recipe I broke it down into "educational steps". Although it isn't a true FORTH it is pretty easy to understand and useful enough to embed inside other applications.

Now and again I consider doing it again, but using a real return-stack to remove the hardcoded control-flow words from the interpreter, but I never quite find the time.
