Actually, he's about to reinvent Forth; he described the way a
Forth interpreter dispatches things. It's not slow. See FICL:
(a forth interpreter written in C):

As FICL is "stackless" (not abusing the C stack for it's FORTH
stack), it might be useful for a game scripting engine with fast
context switches (if that's needed)
