@amszmidt You know, that position is not easy to defend, when you are made aware of these:

https://pygmy.utoh.org/3ins4th.html — "3-instruction" Forth for the 68HC11

http://www.aholme.co.uk/Mk2/Architecture.htm — Mark 2 FORTH Computer

and so on..

You can, however, argue for your proposition, with these:

https://tromp.github.io/cl/cl.html — Binary lambda calculus

https://justine.lol/sectorlisp/

https://t3x.org/klisp/index.html — Kilo LISP

etc.

But, if you are feeling especially brave, you take your case and argue with the legends in comp.lang.forth (as well as comp.lang.lisp)
