Forth had it's uses. The core language with its RPN and heavily stack

The only real problem with stack-oriented programming is how error-prone
it is.
However you could develop a domain
specific set of words so what the user typed in was very close to a
natural language sentence.
You could do similar things in PostScript, which was a more advanced
version of the Forth idea.
While both Forth and PostScript belong in a museum now, at least
PostScript had some interesting language ideas that could be revived.
