I have replied directly, but thought i would post a general comment
also. Kriya systems is selling NEON, which is kind of like forth
masquerading as smalltalk. The good news is that it is designed for

can't make a recommendation, but from the manual, it looks like
wonderful things could be done.

ps. I don't know anybody there (obviously), and the university does
not endorse this or any other products except their own.
