Of course it's true that these things are ridiculously powerful, but that doesn't really matter. The amount of silicon used is roughly the same as an 8051 from 20 years ago. I'm all about cool projects like building your own CPU out of 7400 logic gates or writing your own OS in assembler or whatever. But I personally feel that FORTH doesn't need to be limited to these kinds of toy projects where you're intentionally making things harder on yourself. However when I see discussions related to FORTH it seems like most projects fit into this category and there is little diversity.
