Curiosity: what's your goals?

Your definition syntax looks nice, by the way. Simple and clean...
Although I suppose one could complain that it's hard to visually
discern definitions from random blocks of code, I think it'll be
pretty rare to just have a random block of code.

Can definitions be constructed at runtime? Is "." a normal word or is it syntax?

Good idea, of course.

I've occasionally wondered what a concatenative language modeled to
take advantage of the JVM would look like. I recall that the JVM isn't
totally stack-centered; it has a lot of machinery for stack frames as
well.

Looks nice. This is probably a good way to learn.
