Goroutines are basically coroutines or lightweight threads: maybe I'm
mistaken but I don't think they get dispatched to other cores.  There
are libraries for C that can do stuff like that, though Go makes it
easier.

I thought the idea was to write the VM (a simple program, look at the
manu implementations of the Retroforth Ngaro VM) in a low level language
like C, but you wanted to use something higher level to write the
compiler.  Anyway, even in Python I bet the Forth VM would run much
faster on a modern PC than carefully tuned native Forth compilers did on
1980s computers.

Fair enough.

Hmm, maybe you could connect it up to an external MySQL client or
library.
