   I guess it has been around for a while but I don't remember seeing it   
   mentioned here.  It's at konilo.org.  I came across it through a Hacker   
   New discussion a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39570343   
      
   It makes some peculiar choices imho.  Its Forth uses a bytecode virtual   
   machine with 30 instructions, 32-bit cells, and 16 bit addresses (word   
   addressed memory, so 256K bytes of address space).  It uses blocks and   
   screens in something like the traditional style.  There is a fair amount   
   of documentation but it is in a block-based hypertext format that   
   requires a bunch of clicking around.  It would be great if there was   
   also a linearly organized manual that one could simply read   
   sequentially.
