The FORTH chip I've used is the Rockwell R65F11P running RSC-FORTH ver 1.5
in a little robot dog called " FIFO ". FORTH is great for controlling robots
and telescopes but kinda sucks for number crunching.

Hi
An interesting statement. The Forth Chip, RTX2000, was often added
to machines to be specifically used to enhance the number crunching
ability of systems.
I suspect your thinking is related to the fact that most cheep/free
Forth's lacked floating point, built in. I do have to admit that
a single stack is a little clumsy for multi dimensional vector operations.
Still, there is always the possibility of using some some type of local
variables ( most professional Forths support locals ).
