Over the Shoulder 1 - Text Preprocessing in Forth
Andreas Wagner

Samuel Falvo II live-codes a text preprocessor and blog engine in Forth over about an hour. It shows Forth's dictionary being snapshotted and restored in place of mutation, and how a small Forth system gets real work done.
Cited as a concrete look at Forth in action, including its snapshot/restore dictionary model.
