Sector Lisp has no numbers, Sector Forth has no lists.
Who jumps farther?

For a bit of context just in case anyone was interested.
Sector forth == https://github.com/cesarblum/sectorforth

IMO the measure of a forth is the number of applications written with it. Applications determine what functions a forth requires which is in turn determined by the environment. ISTM if forth has a problem it's counting
beans (words) rather than meeting needs. When DX-Forth got to point where
I was spending more time writing applications, they better informed me as
to what should go into the kernel and what can be left out. Consequently
I don't have an '8080 Forth' but rather a 'Forth for CP/M' and so on.

Indeed. I made a kernel that closely resembles figForth regarding functionality, introduced standard in, standard out, redirection
and added the file wordset.
The I wrote a lot of programs, i.a. 400+ projecteuler solutions.
What I needed, I've added to the library and make it work across
the now 7 viable versions.
