First you say the MicroBit is too small to self-host a dev environment,
then you repeatedly jack up your definition of a development environment
when people show that self-hosted development systems ran on
substantially weaker hardware than the MicroBit historically.  No they
weren't as fancy as what we have now, but people used them to write
real-life working code to solve practical problems.

What are you trying to prove?  Why are you here?  Some people are into
Forth and use it; some are interested in it but don't actually use it
much; but you don't even seem to be interested in it.  I can't tell what
your purpose is unless it's trolling.
