This is not a real issue, because the same thing can be said about C. No two C projects are the same, each has its own set of libraries, macros, types, etc.

I think the main problem is that Forth systems don't have a standard way of creating interfaces like C and other languages have. So the diversity of environments becomes a big issue because it's difficult to combine libraries from different sources.



That's not right. C coders have no problem at all diving right into most other C codebases.


I think it goes beyond that no, because you can do meta programming with Forth
