A Two-dimensional Data Structure for Forth- Bill Ragsdale
Forth includes data structures for constants, variables, values, and a generalized "create". This presentation offers a two-dimensional structure in a matrix format. Each structure carries internal parameters for cell size, row/column size, and memory linkage. Thus, operators can manipulate entire data sets or just portions. A few examples will be given for filling, listing, and mathematics.

Object-Oriented esp32forth - CH Ting
"Chochain Lee and I are working very hard to port object-oriented Forth to ESP32. esp32forth_82 worked quite well. However, objects are very expensive, especially for ESP32 which is no mainframe computer. We revised the dictionary structure to accommodate 1000+ words for robots which will be controlled and programmed remotely through WiFi."
