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

Forth on the XMOS CPU?
Probably what I would do is write a minimal forth interpreter in C, and then use that and a few core words to bootstrap the rest of the system. It is a bit more complex than that, but here is the software which does it.https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/lbForth
