Looking at the company page, we find out that Chuck Moore is at
it again.  Chuck invented Forth and has been making and pushing
Forth Processors since the 1980s (Novix, RTX2000), usually at
reasonably impressive levels of performance for their introductory
date, but not so much "continuous improvement" as one sees with
mainstream micros.  I don't doubt that it's "real."

(Looking around, it seems that Forth is to FPGA people like Linux
is to good-sized microprocessors.  Looks like LOTS of people have
implemented "Forth machines" of one sort or another; with relatively
simple hardware, you get an architecture that already has a HLL.)
