You=E2=80=99re doing an amazing job, Kyle.

I continually see nothing but genuine effort toward feature parity which mak=
es me think one day I can pass the reigns.

Yeah, I will always love Forth. It will always hold a special place in my he=
art as that whacky language that simultaneously exudes great power while als=
o having the image ability to induce vomiting =F0=9F=A4=AE by the uninitiate=
d.

However, all that being said, I=E2=80=99d actually like to keep the Ficl boo=
t stuff as an option through to 14.0 and here is why ...

Last year we were looking to update from ficl3 to ficl4. That may not sound t=
oo exciting to most folks, but most folks don=E2=80=99t know the power that f=
icl4 brings =E2=80=94 like the capability to use full networking in the load=
er! Can lua do that? How cool would it be to be able to communicate with the=
 network from the loader before the kernel is even loaded into memory? I had=
 a few hair-brained schemes left for Forth which might be exciting, lol

Anywho, keep up the great work. I love it and support you all the way.
