Ha! A reference to a different era, a distant voice. :)

For the other readers, GraForth was a Forth embodiment I cooked up about 25
years ago, at a time when most things were written in assembly. It
supported a kind of graphics that would be embarrassingly crude by modern
standards.

It was basically a way to get around the fact that there were almost no
high-level languages, and none that mere mortals could either afford or
support with the small HDD and RAM sizes of the era.

I'm glad to see you had your priorities straight. :)
