Ward Cunningham's DSL for teensy microcontrollers

It reminds me of the False programming language (http://strlen.com/false-language), versions of which I've implemented on small micros I've worked on for similar purposes. False is a tiny but fairly powerful stack-based language the author originally implemented a compiler for in 1024 bytes of 68k machine code. False pulls some great ideas from Forth and (anachronistically) Factor.

Perhaps it's because of the AT90USB162's RAM restrictions (512 bytes), but it seems having a "stack" of just one item and non-nestable loops is pretty restrictive. Oh, and no + - * / operators.

I don't think adding nestable loops and a stack of say 5 items (10 bytes of RAM) and math operators would hurt much, and it'd certainly add to the power of a language like this -- perhaps changing it from a tiny debugging tool to a useful "scripting" language.

This looks like the start of a journey that ends with something like:
