Forth is a highly interactive language with interactive compilation, that's why we call the compilers Forth Systems. The parser is always visible to the programmer! Here are some modern Forth Systems to get you started.
Many more systems are listed here.
Please let us know if a modern, actively developed system is missing in this list.
