This is really cool! Forth is a language that I hadn't really spent much time thinking of until I stumbled across its use in Awkward Array (disclaimer, I am an Awkward contributor now!)

We use a C++ Forth VM to run high performance (de)serialisation from Python (https://awkward-array.org/doc/main/reference/awkwardforth.ht...). Forth's small grammar makes it a highly maintainable approach, and it's amusing that we're using a lang from the 70s as a "new solution" like this.

There's no real point to this comment other than to share some enthusiasm for Forth!
