I also came across FORTH through hacker news. I ended up developing a compiler that can translate FORTH into C.

For the interested reader:

It was a great experience and I can only recommend trying to develop a programming language yourself.

I have implemented yet another forth by myself. It works a little bit different and it is not intended to be a true copy of the original idea.

Since the post says you can discover Forth, here's my part:

The main difference is that in this Forth variant, the source text is completely translated into bytecode and there is no runtime in the sense of classic Forth. This makes it easy to translate the bytecode to C.

I use my own Forth to generate C code with it, which I then embed in other software.
