While it isn't a bare-metal FORTH, targetting a virtual machine, in

 Cool. And I see it’s originally written in C. Are you learning C as well?

I learned C++ in school, and I am mostly familiar with what the differences are (although it was not that long ago that I found out that C only added the option to specify the underlying type of an enum within the last 3-4 years, which surprised me). Nowadays I prefer to use Ada, although I am also looking into Zig.
