I've seen a lot of embedded Forth stuff recently but I don't get the appeal. Clearly there is some benefit over writing assembly, but why is it preferred over portable C, or even higher level languages such as Python on more powerful mcus?

FWIW I felt the same way about LISP for a long time until I fell in love with it via Emacs. So please educate me!
