I wonder if modern computers are harder to port to than the historical
minicomputers that Forth evolved on, as there is more hardware
complexity to deal with now.  In the old days one of Forth's selling
points was that porting was pretty easy.

IIRC they were able to migrate the GA processor from a 180nm process
(GA4, GA144) to 130nm (GA32) and they had chosen 180nm for the GA144 due
to its low leakage current.
