   WSL has been available for 9 years, and WSL2 for more than 5 years.   
   You can run an existing Linux build of Gforth on WSL(2) on Windows, or   
   build Gforth on WSL(2) on Windows yourself.   
      
   The source code of Gforth is also available in various forms, so you   
   can build it on Windows yourself (Cygwin recommended).  However, note   
   that this is a bumpy ride even with Cygwin.  There is a reason why   
   Bernd Paysan has stopped producing gforth packages for Windows.   
      
   Last time I looked (quite long ago), the Windows package did not use   
   mmap() for allocating the stacks, and as a result, stack underflow   
   (and overflow) reporting was not as good as under WSL.  Looking at the   
   current Cygwin documentation, mmap() and munmap() are supported and   
   claimed to be SUSv5-compliant   
   .  So if   
   anybody builds Gforth on Cygwin/Windows, they might find that this   
   feature works nowadays.  Maybe it already works with the latest Gforth   
   build for Windows.
