Those really do seem nicer than ANS, which looks kludgy by comparison.
Retroforth also looks clean.

But, I think Jonesforth's attraction is partly from explanations all the
way to the deepest, lowest level details.  And the uninitiated seem to
like that it starts from assembly language--I guess the idea of
metacompilation comes later.

I've heard a few times that there is a version of cmforth annotated by
Jay Melvin around somewhere.  I'd like to see it.  Does anyone know
where to find it?
