Hardly anyone hand-codes significant amounts of assembler on any
architecture these days.  It's either an exercise or
recreation/masochism, and in either case the relative difficulty of
coding for architecture X vs Y doesn't matter much, within reason and if
you're not too concerned about micro-optimization.  In the case of
jonesforth, the end result will be interesting since people will be able
to run it on arm-based computers.

There are some other significant architectures of interest, and maybe
more will emerge.  Overall some kind of abstract assembler approach has
its attractions.
