You should go implement the FORTH-83 wordlist. (arbitrary pick, but it's easy to find documentation for the words) Doing that will reveal exactly how powerful and succinct Forth has always been, because the compilation/execution distinction in Forth is just a bitflip.

yes, i have actually thought about this solution independently, but i still find it a little bit ugly to have to tell the parser that everything past a certain point is runtime, if I am understanding this correctly.
