If you think of a Forth as a domain-specific language for hardware
control, that has been pressed into service for some other applications
with varying degrees of success, maybe it will make more sense to you.

The whole philosophy of Forth revolves around using minimal hardware
resources, including machinery and culture that gets people to "redefine
the problem" to suppress unnecessary features.  Saying "Forth" and "JVM"
in the same sentence probably gets quite a few Forthers tied in knots.
The JVM isn't that relevant to most programming projects either.  It's
heavily used in certain environments but not others.
