It's a good match to small exploratory problems such as your first chess program. Example chess code at http://ultratechnology.com/chess.html . Free development environments exist for all popular platforms. When development is complete, there exist asynchronous 25x multiprocessor chips which run Forth natively, so you can build your own Deep Blue. So follow the crowd writing YACE in C. Or sally Forth.
