Back in my university days in the 80's we had a few hardcore Forth fans. They wouldn't touch anything else.

I used to be one of them. At the time, I saw Forth as a sort of MSI solution, between the 'TTL gates' approach of assembler and the MSI of C, Pascal etc. It was also easy to get Forth cheaply for small processors, whereas C tended to be very expensive and clunky.

Nowadays, reasonably good C is available for nearly all processors, and Forth is a bit of a backwater. I'd certainly rather try to read even badly written C than Forth, and not having to keep track of the stack clinches it for me.
