Also depends on how inviolate the code must be, and how verifiable
the system. If you need to re-create the system, FORTH can be
implemented with a lot fewer gates of hardware and a lot fewer lines
of code than JAVA - and would therefore be a lot easier to verify, if
you need to design/build new hardware to run your legacy code on in
25 years.
