Hi,
I'm close to release the first version (0.1) of Punyforth, which is Forth implementation for the esp8266.
Forth is simple, stack based, interactive programming language with small memory footprint, commonly used in resource-constrained systems.
I think the main benefit of using a Forth like language on the esp8266 is the interactive workflow it provides. You can type commands in a REPL and see the result immediately. You can modify or extend the running program, which makes creative experimentation possible.
Forth is also good at metaprogramming. Users can extend the language, define their own control structures, or create DSLs for their problem domain.
For more info, please visits the github page of the project
https://github.com/zeroflag/punyforth/
and take a look at the examples
