Yes, I see this too. I was consulting on a project using Forth and a
CPU core in Verilog designed by John Rible, but slow payments by the
client forced me to terminate the relationship. The client could not
find other suitable Forth talent that they were willing to pay for, so
they scrapped all my work and are programming the thing in assembler
with 3 programmers to replace me. Seems so dumb, since the cpu was
designed to run threaded languages, espectially Forth. Too bad too,
because I had already enhanced John's cross assembler, written an ANSI
Forth cross compiler based on e-Forth, and written a multitasker for
the cpu core.
