Forth... I have not used that since the 80s although I was quite
impressed by the speed and being an HP calculator user RPN was quite
familiar. I started using it on the ZX Spectrum and it was my first
Non-basic high level language. It may be time to dig out a forth pakage
and see what I can still remember.
IIRC it was originally developed for radio telescopes so there is a nice
radio link.

I would recommend Mecrisp if you wish to work on embedded platforms. I
think the radio telescope thing is long past. I don't recall there
being any trace of telescope control or radio left in the language.
