Wouldn't that be awesome? There's some approaches to programming that are worth understanding but that are not what I'd consider to be in the Forth spirit. Putting them into Forth (if that's even feasible) would therefore probably not get much uptake. Despite that, lots of things have been tried (OOP, static types, garbage collection, transactional memory etc.) with some success at least on an experimental basis. I guess that's an accomplishment, but it's sort of like capturing an exotic animal and bringing it home to a zoo. Yes one can learn some things at the zoo, but it's probably more informative to actually visit the animal's native habitat and study it ni the niche where it evolved and uses its characteristics to the fullest. Historically the language most conducive to adding features from other languages and making them "native" has been Lisp. IMHO, Lisp is interesting in ways that Visual Basic is not.
