Forth is a stack-based language. I would guess this limits concurrency to 1 in all cases. It is nice for embedded single-threaded code, but is an OS a realistic target?

Wouldn't it be great to have a lean mean OS written in Forth? Forth is just slightly bigger than assembly, but a very time-saving language even by comparison with C (both speed/size and productivity)a.
