Forth historically solved a problem (interactive, reasonable performance
development environment on low-resource machines) that's less important
now than it used to be, and most programmers these days don't want to
deal with the tradeoffs Forth made to solve that problem, unless they
are dealing with the same problem.

The Arduino really does seem like a natural Forth target, though.  It
would be great if Amforth had more uptake.  Do you think of encouraging
vendors of Atmel boards to ship with Amforth already installed?  Or
maybe just flash a pile of Atmega328 parts and sell them to people?

Recognizers seem like a good idea, even if there are issues still to
work out.
