Someone linked to me FreeForth, a Forth that doesn't have any compile / interpret distinction. Everything is compiled, and if run interactively, words are first compiled into anonymous "function" and then run, which has a lot of benefits; such as allowing compile-only words at the REPL. I haven't heard anyone talk about or recreate this variant, which to me seems a very interesting evolution of the original Forth. Nor has anyone tried to recreate it in something more readable than a thick assembly implementation that's trying to be a little too smart for its own good.
