And if I might interject, I am a 24-year old who has not that long ago 
started learning the UXN (https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxn.html) system. 
While it isn't a bare-metal FORTH, targetting a virtual machine, in 
terms of learning about FORTHs, I think it qualifies.

And if I don't qualify as a "young kid", well, I have a 13-year-old 
brother, who has also started learning the language.
