Cool, I don't remember what the MPE Lite situation is with the ARM.  You
could also check SwiftForth eval versions.

You might try MicroPython (micropython.org) which supports various
boards including its own, which is quite nice if a bit expensive ($45).
It supports some of the ST Discovery boards but unfortunately the
Launchpads might require some porting.
