Didn't know about StrongForth.
As for Kitten, I didn't like the syntax. To me the interesting thing about Forth-like languages is the postfix/rpn syntax, which Kitten moves to far away from. I really liked how `if` in Factor was just a postfix word like any other, where the then- and else-clause was just quotation arguments.
I'm sure Kitten is a fine language, it just wasn't what I was looking for.
