OK, I think this means you'd write a parsing word that reads a machine
description and generates Forth code at compile time.  I guess that
approach makes sense.  I'm aware of Forth's compile-time code
generation but didn't realize it was normally done with stuff of such
complexity.  I'm cool with it though ;-).

This does sound useful, though it's more of an anti-C argument (think of
writing in Lisp directly) than a pro-Forth one.  I like Norman Ramsey's
anecdote (http://stackoverflow.com/a/809954):

  After Dave Hanson published his superb book with Chris Fraser on
  engineering lcc, I asked him what he and Chris had learned after
  spending ten years carefully designing and implementing lcc. His
  response:
        "C is a lousy language to write a compiler in."

Heh, the Python and Lisp communities insist that runtime checks are
strong typing, since they don't like hearing their languages called
"weak" ;-).  It's also supported by strong typists(?) like Cardelli
and Wegner[1] though as you say, there's no universally accepted
definition.

One thing I learned coming to Haskell from Lisp and Python, is that
precise type systems allow expressing concepts and reasoning (as opposed
to just steps to carry out) directly in the code: the type system can
track invariants all over the program.  It's hard to write code with
conceptual errors and get it to compile, because the type system catches
the errors.  Anecdotally, if your patch compiles at all, it probably
works correctly too.

I can believe that about interaction.  I always relied heavily on gdb
when I had to navigate C programs.  I have to ask what it's like
trying to understand and modify a big Forth program written by other
people, though.  I get the impression that most Forth projects are
solo or done by small teams.

Hmm, yeah, I guess it's easier with something deterministic like a
compiler, where errors are reproducable.  You run the failure input
again and again, working backwards til you find the problem.  But what
about a nondeterministic real-time system that's acting flaky?  And
runtime pointer checks often aren't enough to tell that data
structures stay consistent, thus tools like Valgrind that go a lot
further.

If of any interest, here's an entertaining list of compiler-crashing
bugs (some for gcc) that I haven't tried running:

  http://blog.regehr.org/archives/696

I wonder how many result from type errors.

I've been fooling with gforth on and off for a while but yeah, I still
find simple stuff difficult that should be easy, so there's stuff that
I'm missing.  Gforth also saves me all the time with its automatic stack
underflow checks.  I have an idea for one of those TI Launchpad boards
and I may try to use Camelforth for it.  Developing with a Forth without
those checks sounds really difficult and I don't know if Camelforth has
them.
