In order to draw attention to Forth programs it is not very
useful to have a site with only Forth programs.
The common interest of those programs is Forth.
non-Forthers will not visit that site.
I start to approach it from an other side. Luring visitors
with interesting programs without starting with telling which
language they are in.
I've collected a rather huge number of prime counting programs.
(note even including all versions of Anton Ertl's sbpcp.)

People probably want to run those programs, and they
can, which sometimes require installing a Forth compiler. (hehe)
Such as
https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/ciforth
(hehe)
I intend to have more of those available as a script.
Particularly note the script
r10par
This can do 10^16 in 111 minutes on a computer
where sbpcp needs 103 minutes for 10^15
I7 4790 Intel
It uses two parallel processes on lina64. If you want
to port it, be my guest. I'll publish it gladly on this
site.
This is a start. There needs a lot more background information
about the algorithm's, more languages, better iso compliance etc.
