In the 1980s, you could get a replacement ROM that turned the Sinclair ZX81 (aka the Timex Sinclair 1000 in the US) into a Forth machine. It was a fun and affordable way to learn forth at the time.
Forth holds a two unique positions for me: the first developer I met that made over US$100K/year was a Forth developer (25+ years ago). Forth is also the only language where I have met one person who wrote it for a living.

- dingosity 4y agoI didn't notice the Jupiter Ace was a thing back in the day, but a while back got the xACE emulator running. I imagine it was a similar experience. Seems like it should be easy to build a code-a-like with an RC2014 or similar system. (And you would have the option of adding a better keyboard.)
