The MPE Forth ARM/Cortex cross compiler, including the Stamp edition,
supports the STM32F4 processors. You do not need a big environment
to develop for them.

How is an AVR more powerful than an MSP430? Just because the chips
on the Launchpad are RAM limited says nothing about the relative
merits of the families. Without an explanation of your priorities,
I don't understand what you want.

IMHO, in this environment the distinction between 8. 16, and 32 bit
CPUs is irrelvant. Adafruit will sell you a minimal LPC810 kit for
very little. That's an 8 pin 32 bit CPU.
