There are some GPIO pins that control the LEDs (there's a 5x5 LED array), but if you want to do stuff like display scrolling text messages on them, you need Microbit-specific libraries or else you have to write a lot of code yourself. The MicroBit's Python implementation has some convenient library functions for that and if you wanted to port an existing Python Forth to the MicroBit Python, you'd want to do some hacking to expose those functions to the Forth user.
