I also hear that a certain 123 lookalike was written in Forth.
I know of several programs in the TI-99/4A software market (yes there is such
an animal - STILL!) written in Forth, which are very successful.  I'm looking
at writing a BBS in TI Forth, with only very time-critical stuff in assembly.
With only 48K to work with, it will be almost as fast as assembly, be
maintainable by end users, (which my current all assembly program isn't) and
will be modular, something that Forth allows with ease.
