This is a great resource and running in the browser is great for fast feedback. Thanks for sharing! I just started learning Forth a month or so ago, and I found this video from Andreas Wagner[1] fun to watch. If anyone goes through OP's book and find yourself wanting to see Forth in action, I recommend the video. [1]: [VIDEO]
