You can do fake pointer arithmetic which won't hurt this use case (server-side web framework); if you implement Gforth as an interpreter on the JVM/CLR or running it with Emscripten, there is no issue for server-side web frameworks like this while being safe.

That's been done for C a few times (this [0] and there are a few others); if you don't depend on the actual physical memory addresses you are using (which, in embedded, you often are counting on, but not in a server-side framework).

Not sure what this means?
