Quote:Gosh, is FORTH still around!?
Yes, it still exists and is also used:
The earliest known applications were controls for radio telescopes and astronomical and space observatories. Other applications in the technical and scientific field came later. Used on the Galileo spacecraft in 1989, Forth was one of the first high-level languages in space; until then, assembly languages were mostly used for such systems.[5][6] The Philae space probe, known for landing on a comet in 2014, was also programmed in Forth.
