No idea what possessed you to necro a 4 month old post but I've written
a KLOC or so of Forth and studied the implementation techniques closely.
That's not enough to have the instincts of an expert, but it's way
beyond zero experience or newbie range.  Plus I've read discussions
between experts here on CLF and see the kind of stuff that they find
difficult.  So I have a reasonable sense of Forth's strong and weak
points, it seems to me.  Anyway, do you really want a scripting
extension that requires an expert to be able to use it?

You might give the MicroPython live demo a try:

(Hmm, it's not working right now, but it's really cool when it does).

MicroPython needs around 100k of code space and 10k of ram from what I
understand.  That's less tiny than Forth can be, but still within range
of cheap midrange MCU's including the 2 dollar ESP8266 boards.  If not,
NodeMCU definitely fits in those things (eLua instead of Python) and
lots of them are shipping with it pre-installed.
