The main benefit of Forth is that it is very small. A classical Forth system takes the roles of the compiler, the editor and the operating system while completely fitting in a memory space of less than 20 kilobytes. The smallness also makes it possible to implement a Forth system from scratch in a weekend.
-Forth is usually run with a two-stack virtual machine, so it is much slower than compiled code. However, classical Forth system typically also include an [[assembler]] that can be used to implement speed-critical parts of the program.

Most programmers see Forth as quite esoteric in comparison to other languages. Forth also doesn't "protect" the programmer from its inner peculiarities – even though it is possible to create abstractions, it is not advisable to forget what lies under those abstractions.
