Is Forth really a memory-unsafe language? I'm struggling to picture what e.g. a use-after-free would look like in such a minimal programming language.

RISC-V seems like a great example of "commoditise your complements". If you're getting value higher in the hardware or software stack, a royalty-free ISA is valuable. Creating an ISA is a ton of work. Once it's basically viable, it creates interesting opportunities.

StarScan: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:base/allocator/partition_allocator/starscan/README.md Really interesting idea for improving manual memory management security: quarantine free()'d value until you can see all references are gone!
