Had this discussion on Discord as well. Like most things Forth it depends how you use it. If we consider the classic indirect threaded systems, then every field in a definition is an address called an execution token (XT). In most systems you can convert an XT back into a text label. This allows pretty simple de-compiling for example. It is trivial to collect those Xts as data and execute them later. CREATE XT-LIST ] THESE WORDS COULD BE FORTH CODE [ XT-LIST now contains six XTs. They can now be read one XT at a time and executed. So if one accepts that those XTs are data, BUT they are also code since they can be "executed" by the Forth VM then I think we can say Forth is homoiconic. However if that doesn't suffice it is perfectly legal to pass text strings to EVALUATE. : TEST S" THESE WORDS COULD BE FORTH CODE" EVALUATE ; That's all I got.
