Would such a project be interesting for this year gsoc? Is any mentor
interested in Forth?

I really think acme would make a great environment for Forth
development. I have not used 4th except to play a bit with it, but I
have spent the last months porting the Ngaro VM to Go [1], which is
used to run retroForth [2] images, and I think that could be a good
starting point too.

PS: I'm CCing this to the GSoC list, but since the original message
appeared here I'm replying to 9fans too.
