Sure.  pop11_compile compiles list to machine code, executes and
gives back result:

: [2 + 2] -> code;
;;; DECLARING VARIABLE code
: pop11_compile(code) =>
** 4
:

valof allows you to access variables with given name:

: "code" -> name;
;;; DECLARING VARIABLE name
: valof(name) =>
** [2 + 2]
: "name" -> valof(name);
: code =>
** name

For languages users care if program runs on different implementation,
or how much effort is needed to change program so that it runs.
