A few questions regarding the language
Not that I've ever seen personally. They mostly exist as extensions in various places. Gforth has one, for example.

What forth implementation could be a good pick for writing a texteditor?
I don't know the status of gforth's 'minos2' offering but I see a mention of X11 which is a promising sight for Linux GUI work.

Aro: A C compiler written in Zig
For contrast, gforth (a prominent Forth interpreter, by Forth standards) generates+compiles+links binding code in C, at runtime, using the ordinary C toolchain. [0][1][2]
A bit 'out there' you may say, but on the plus side this approach enables handling header files and tidily expressing bindings without the need to implement their own C parser. [2]
