That's a lousy excuse for refusing to accept an answer to your problem. Just
because you did no research doesn't mean there's no answer.

Your specific goal *seems* to be to program in a low-level non-concatenative
language and a high-level concatenative language. Since that goal is
reversed from anyone else's I've ever met, I'm mildly interested -- I like
contrarian thinking (that's why I'm studying concatenative languages).

It so happens that there's plenty of solutions to your specific problem,
even though they don't match your specific question.
