Let's not forget important minicomputers of yesteryear.

WIP.

The instruction set isn't very amenable to stack processing. Or subroutine calls. Both of which Forth makes heavy use.

May be a candidate for direct or indirect threading.

Those limitations are manageable. It seems the biggest problem is handling definitions that crosses page boundaries.
