Everyone probably already knows about the radio-astronomy.  We evaluated
protocol analyzers; one was programmed in Forth, though I forget which.
It does seem that companies downplay the use of Forth (or is it FORTH?).
I use a similar language as the interpreter of an interactive graphics program.
It is also a toy in itself on my UNIX PC at home.  Yes, it is a hacker's
environment, but one can make it robust.  The main thing is to prevent
using arbitrary numbers as pointers.
