Factor is sort of a Lisp dialect that is garbage collected, I think.  So maybe
not great for embedded.  StrongForth, I thought, was like regular Forth but
with a type system.  That shouldn't be a problem unless there are other
issues.  Ada is strongly typed, and C++ is sort-of-strongly typed, and both
are used in embedded apps all the time.
