I went through an intensive Forth phase a couple of years ago before embarking on SubX, but somehow missed this Chuck Moore talk at Strange Loop:

I watched it today at 1.5x, and it still took me 2 hours to watch. I had to pause every couple of seconds to digest what I'd just heard. Fascinating.

Forth chips focus on power, and therefore tiny memories. It's a powerful justification for remaining in the nostalgic console aesthetic of the 80s.
