Fitting a Forth in 512 bytes (2021)

Forth has been sitting on my list of cool thing to learn when I have time for the past 20 yrs or so. What would be a compelling use case and setup?

I have a side project to try to make an extreme minimal size compiler for a Forth inspired language and implementation. It's a compiler that generates a Forth like interpreter and byte code. The bytecode is huffman encoded. Nothing works yet but its an idea.
