I mean, running a Forth on top of the Nut CPU in a system that was not really designed for it, and have it emulated by an ARM. It feels like a lot of pain when you can just do it natively.

Or for that matter, implement a native Forth on the device to co-exists with the Nut emulation layer. That is something I thought about, but given the small interest in the platform and lack of time on my side, it is not likely to happen in this life.

This Forth implementation runs on many STM32 micro-controller variants, as used in DM-41x. http://mecrisp.sourceforge.net/
