Someday I'd like to delve into Forth for an embedded project, for exactly these reasons.

I've only read a little about it but it seems very object oriented, and a bit like Lisp for hardware. A different approach but a big learning curve.

Yes, exactly. As I said I only know a little about it, but it seems like you use Forth to design a language which matches (and controls) your machine. As you sometimes use Lisp to build other languages.

Now that you mention it, I think I've gotten my wires cross about the object-orientation angle; I think i was thinking of Smalltalk. It's another language that I've also thought would be interesting to learn, sometime. I really don't know a lot about either of them, though.
