More accurately, Forth is somewhere between the PDP-8 and the PDP-11 in terms
of its downward trajectory.  It's still out there, and there are even jobs to
be had doing it.  But not as many as there were 10 years ago, and more than
there will be in another 10 years.

(None of these comments are directed towards Mr. Moore's work--it's brilliant
and I don't feel competent to comment on how it might do in the world.)
