    <p>A basic Forth system is very small and can quickly be implemented. I think the following page will be very useful for you: "<a href="http://www.annexia.org/_file/jonesforth.s.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">A sometimes minimal Forth compiler and tutorial for Linux / i386 systems</a>". It is a linear tutorial on bootstrapping a Forth system!</p> <p>Be sure to implement the defining words (words executing at compile time). That is where the power of Forth comes from; making it truly extensible.</p> <p>I haven't actually tried it, but I once settled for <a href="http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/bigforth.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bigFORTH</a> as it is one of the few Forths with an open source license. It is also actively maintained; for instance there was a release earlier this year.</p> <p>I have collected <a href="http://drmortensen.eu/Forth_annotatedLinks.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a set of annotated links about Forth</a> over the past few years. Some of it is hard to find stuff.</p> <p>Regarding the standards talk: this is a 20 year old discussion. I think it is more important to actually do something instead of talking: implement software, provide killer examples, writing documentation, invite other to participate, etc. Charles Moore has since moved on and done <a href="http://greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/GA144.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Forth chips</a>, <a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?MachineForth" rel="nofollow noreferrer">machineForth</a> and <a href="http://www.colorforth.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ColorFORTH</a>. If you search for "machineForth" and "ColorFORTH" in the annotated list of links it is possible to find some interesting articles and statements. Charles Moore also has a <a href="http://www.colorforth.com/blog.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">blog</a> now.</p>
