    It will be released it's done. It's feature-complete, but the
    documentation is not yet complete.

    If you don't care about the documentation, you can use a recent
    snapshot, and use a system that is very similar to what I expect
    Gforth-1.0 to be.

    I hope that put pressure on the Debian staff. It is a shame that
    there is no official modern gforth in the distribution.

    There is no substitute for

    sudo apt install gforth

    in order to make people try forth.

    The next 5 year plan has as primary goal to advance life expectancy
    over 80 years, like Western Europe.
