I can't speak for others. For myself, I've never personally made the
time to learn Forth. But I did learn Postscript (which I understand
to be related) and had a lot of fun with it in a kind of intellectual
way. It's always worth knowing a variety of programming paradigms,
and there's a very interesting elegance to Postscript's design, and
it's arguably well-suited to the specific domain of typography. I
wasn't convinced that I wanted to rush out and use it for day-to-day
programming, but I can understand the appeal to those who do like it.
