Yes, that would be a good choice if there was enough traffic to need a
new group.  I don't think there is that much traffic right now.  There
was one person grumbling about hardware posts very recently, but it
hasn't been a problem in general as far as I know.  Forth CPU's and
stack hardware are a significant motivator for the Forth language these
days, IMHO.  So I consider Forth hardware to be on-topic for CLF until
there's 100's of posts per day about it for sustained periods.  I do
realize others may see it differently.

I agree with Rick: do the product first, worry about the venue later.

Not as far as I can see.  Comp.lang.functional was a fairly quiet group
about functional-programming languages such as Haskell, ML, Erlang, and
so on.  One day someone got the bright idea that splitting off Haskell
into its own group would increase traffic.  Instead it decreased
traffic, so now instead of one fairly quiet group, there are two dead
groups.
