I love stack languages. Forth, Factor, Joy, Cat .. (all the concatenative crew).

ps: there are some Chuck Moore talks on youtube that are worth gold. His CPUs are heaven

Have you used his greenarrays chips? If so I'd love to hear anything you have to say on them and your Forth experience in general.

oh no, I was far removed from this kind of things, I'm a java/python coder let's say. But I recently dug into low level electronics so I hope I can put my hands on one.
