"You could have a Forth without threaded code, I suppose."

VFX Forth from MPE UK is a native code generator. It evaluates source code and emits inline code or calls depending what you tell the compiler to do. It can expand everything to inline if you tell it but your code would get much bigger.

This is the state of the art for Forth compilers today.

Homemade systems and older systems use threaded code.

I have no affiliation with MPE.
