title: What implementation of Forth should I use for learning Forth?
body: <p>I want to start learning <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Forth</a> (like in the related Stack Overflow question <em><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1418822/is-it-practical-to-learn-and-use-forth">Is it practical to learn and use Forth?</a></em>). I see that there are <a href="http://www.forth.org/compilers.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">many implementations</a>. I would like to use a</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_%28programming_language%29#History" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ANS 1994</a> compatible version (if reasonable, but sticking to the standard might be good)</li>
  <li>small and compact implementation, I don't want a full OS.</li>
  <li>Windows</li>
  <li>easy to use, I am new to Forth ;-)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What particular implementation can be recommended?</p>
