Forth is alive and well, albeit not very common.  It is used in embedded

It has also been used since circa 1999 as the embedded language of
the FreeBSD boot loader, another constrained environment.  In the
end Forth proved too unpopular, few people touched it, and it is
being replaced with Lua now.
