It is one possibility for the base of the opensource EC code.

It may or may not pan out.  The EC's implementation of 8051 is 
particularly ill-suited to Forth because of the way they have arranged 
the memory map (most of the memory is read-only and accessing it as data 
is relatively inefficient).  It will be interesting to see whether the 
aspects of Forth that make it a productive programming experience 
actually apply in the EC case.
