Is there a tool available to program the cores in a higher-level language (like C, Pascal, Java, or other parallel programming language like parallel Haskell or others)? Or a tool to translate from a higher level language into Venture Forth code? (In the past there has been translators from C to Forth)

The t18 environment may be thought of as both an assembler back end with text interface that can be used by other language code generators and as an extensible Forth development environment that is raised to a higher level of abstraction as domain specific code is defined or compiled from libraries. We have seen one example of code generation using “J” and we know that other language front ends are possible but we are not offering any. Libraries of domain specific extensions to the environment will facilitate easier code generation in Forth or with other language front ends.
