I want a modern and fast forth compiler.
The last version of GForth is from 2003. Factor and Cat are not 100%%
forth. Win32Forth its only for windows. Swiftforth are not free.
DeltaForth is not complete. All the compilers in this page
http://www.forth.org/compilers.html are old, others slow and others
are dead.
There is a modern and fast forth compiler or it is a impossible dream?
I think that forth it is perfect for make real applications.

There is a newer version in the GForth CVS (I'm sure someone will
post the link; I don't have it handy).

There is an evaluation version of Swiftforth, but like Win32Forth it's
only for Windows. MPE does have a Linux version of it's compiler (as
well as an evaluation version for Windows).
There are also some Forths for the Macintosh (I'm sure one of their
users can supply links).

You mean for free. Talk to the commercial Forth vendors and find out
if they need a chunk of code written. Maybe they'll give you a Forth
in exchange.

Isn't there a story about belling the cat? I would like to see an
open source embedded Forth development environment. But until I make
one, I don't think I'll see it.

Yes!!!
Anton, Bernd, see? I am right: no releases for five years is _bad_,
CVS-based distribution is _bad_. And that's you policy still.
Gforth is dead, its last release is 5 years old.

You can use 5 years old Gforth to make real applications. I do.

Just out of interest, which feature is more important to you?
1. speed of execution of words written in Forth, or
2. ease/simplicity of adding new primitive words written in C for the
time-critical parts of your code?

For some reason you have not mentioned bigforth ( http://www.jwdt.com/
~paysan/bigforth.html). Have you looked at it?
