I think that the "color" aspect of ColorForth[2] could have wider use. I view it as a lightweight version of literate programming[1], in that you can intersperse code with the description of it. It makes it quite clear what is code, comment, constants, etc.
I think that the ideas that were brought forth in MetaMine[3] where quite interesting. The ability to mix declarative and imperative code in the same program, without melting your brain doing so, was a very powerful tool. I'm sad that it hasn't resurfaced. (I did find a fork of it on GitHub though[4])
