Oh, yes, I remember FORTH. To me, it was sort of a sub-culture in the late 1970s and 1980s, but a relatively popular one. A relatively large minority of coders were FORTH guys.
I myself was a C guy back then. We were a large minority too. We started off as UNIX programmers but it became very popular for embedded controllers too. That's what I liked about C - I could write microcode or systems code and it was very fast and efficient. And I could control memory and stack operations with careful use of variables, pointers and function arguments.
