This sound fun!

Could you elaborate a bit in simple words what it is and what's the common
way to interact with the system ? What do you mean by « Forth-like firmware
in assembly » ? Is there a GUI ? Does it feels like being a hipster like in
the '50s or before and breaking the 1 billion dollar thing ?

Of course the little tutorial I stripped and read a bit gives some of the
responses.

Thanks

Amirouche
