I'm not sure how I feel about Forth implemented on a Cortex M-0

It is according to the Scriptures, telling both the language and what we should use it for: Go Forth, and multiply.
I always thought that was the polite way of telling someone to f*** off. :-D

I am dead certain about I feel : avoid it at all cost. Forth is a write-only language. I almost had that booger flicked on me once but I dodged it, thankfully.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Agreed. Back in the Long Ago Time, when I was in college, I took the computer graphics sequence and even did an independent study course. All of the programming was in PL/I-80[^] on Z-80 CP/M machines. The year after that, some numbnuts in the Computer Science department switched to using Forth. The courses were still taught using the classic Fundamentals of Computer Graphics by J. D. Foley and A. Van Dam which used a procedural pseudo-code for presenting algorithms. The pseudo-code made sense when implemented in PL/I. In Forth, not so much X| .

delete this;That sounds frightening. I can not imagine a worse language to learn computer graphics than Forth. I used a variant of PL/I called PL/M on Intel 8085 development systems with ICE many, many years ago. It was servicable. For simple, senior-level projects it was.
