The reason it's fast is brutal simplicity. But it's a spectrum, with dogmatic Forth close to one end; the more you can keep things simple, the more raw speed you get for free. The approach I'm using in Snigl [0] is to start with Forth and add more elaborate features as optional/gradual layers. As long as you don't use variables and closures you get to enjoy more raw speed etc. [0] https://gitlab.com/sifoo/snigl https://gitlab.com/sifoo/snigl
