Forth: Stack-Manipulation Operators
Incidentally, a couple of weeks ago I wrote a tiny Star Wars-themed Forth program to celebrate Star Wars Day: https://github.com/susam/may4
Forth brings back the fun in computing for me that I once experienced when I began learning to code with Logo. Simple, distraction-free, and fun!
"I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun." -- Alan J. Perlis

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]
