Reva is FOSS, so anyone who wants to hack on it can do so.  What's the
issue here?  Weren't you using eForth for a while?  It's non-standard
and there's not even a company behind it to fold up.  But it's pretty
easy to understand and modify.  Mecrisp also doesn't have a company
supporting it, though I guess it's more standard than eForth.
