Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Video demonstration of how I explore and debug JONESFORTH using a trace file generated by gdb and custom Python extensions:

Do you have any suggestions for FORTH debugging workflow?

My fork of JONESFORTH with all the infrastructure you see in the video:

Reading the JONESFORTH source code is one part of understanding it. But using the debugger is another very helpful part. GDB can be quite fiddly though. The above approach helps to make introspection with GDB more straightforward.

Here's the trace file from the video:
