The 'MetaCircularEvaluator' page on the c2 wiki:

  https://wiki.c2.com/?MetaCircularEvaluator

includes this:

  here is a simple metacircular interpreter in arbitrary dialect 
  Forth:

    : myInterpreter
      begin 32 word find dup if execute else number then again ;

  And here would be a compiler:

    : my-]
      begin 32 word find dup if dup immediate? if execute else 
      compile then else compile-number then again ;
