People still use Forth for embedded work (there are two major Forth vendors with a definite customer base). I'd say it's quite rare in the server realm, but I know of one company doing storage stuff that has a Forth written on top of C running on FreeBSD and their engineers really like it as they understand the full system outside of the C compiler. Who understands even 25% of C++?



...Storage?

Nice.
