Forth is already part of some more popular JavaScript engines, as
backend for JavaScript. Oh, as usual, it is a well-hidden secret, and
no JavaScript programmer is ever exposed to this Forth part. We all
benefit significantly, because our browsers are running JavaScript much
faster now.
The academic answer to this fact was "The Firefox JavaScript engine is
an utter mess!!!! There's even a Forth inside!!1111!!!eleven!1!!"
Forth has quite a hard time in computer science. It's not considered a
language, as it has no grammar (no abstract syntax apart from the simple
fact that all words are separated by white space). I went to the
"compiler" lecture, it took one semester. It did not go as far as to
code generation (that would have been "advanced compilers", and the
professor was so bad that I considered not to listen to him on this
topic), but the entire semester was dealing with grammars, with parser
generators (called "compiler compilers") and all that stuff that is - in
Forth - done by WORD. Or nowadays by PARSE-NAME. Hey, nobody would
spent more than 30 seconds explaining what PARSE-NAME does, and nobody
would go to a lecture to understand this thing.
My conclusion of this and other things I've seen is that many people can
only think in winded, complex ways. Forth is brutal simplicity. It's a
lot of "you don't need this" and "you don't need that". People start
with wrong assumptions, and their ego is too small to correct (or admit)
their mistakes. So they don't change things, they rather continue to
follow the winded path they took.
People have a hard time thinking out of the box. If you give them the
task "you have 9 dots on a sheet of paper, in a 3 by 3 array. Connect
them by straight lines, and find the minimum number of lines to do
this". Few people achieve it with less than five lines. The solution
is one single line. You have to wrap the paper around a bottle or some
other round thing to achieve this, but while the single line in 3D space
now is no longer straight, it is still straight on the paper (2D), the
problem space.
IMHO Forth was too early. Forth was created almost at the same time
when Algol 68 was designed (by committee). Algol 68 is utterly complex,
so complex that it took years to write compilers for it, but when you
look at it in the hindsight, it is no way as complex as C++. And C++ is
one of the most popular languages around. However, its popularity seems
to fade, because people actually are overwhelmed by C++'s complexity.
Including the compiler writers who have a hard time implementing all the
fancy ideas the standard committee has (they don't work on a "we want a
reference implementation" base as we do).
So there is now a movement away from Algol and its brain-childs, towards
more agile, more interactive, and simpler programming languages, but
they are all still way more complex than Forth.
The other problem of Forth is the toolbox approach programmers are
taught. All the popular languages like Java, Perl, Python, etc. have a
huge set of libraries that do what they are designed to. It took a long
time to write each library, and it takes some time to learn how to use
them. People believe that "all the complexity to do the complex tasks"
are hidden inside the library. The Forth approach to not use such
libraries, but just solve the problem at hand is just as alien as RPN.
We have done this Google Code Jam thing with the alien language, which
shows you how the mainstream thinks. They designed a programming
exercise (a really simple one), and they desigend it around *the* tool
people use these days: regular expressions. Aparently everything can be
solved by regexps (well, there is a formal proof that this is true ;-).
Forth is a language where you are told "no, we don't use regexps". Hey,
come on, a language without regexp is not a serious language. You can't
sell this, not at the moment.
It's like selling a bicycle in California as means of transportation
(not as sports utility). The target audience tells you that anything
less than a 6m long pickup is unacceptable, and you ask "what do you
achieve? You sit alone in your pickup, and go 5 miles with an average
speed of 10mph, because it's all clogged up? The bike will be faster,
and come on, it does *not* rain that often here", and then you get all
these arguments about the dog ("hey, you walk a dog, you don't drive a
dog"), about cup holders ("you'll wake up when you start pushing the
pedals, and actually, you can put a bottle here¹"), and finally about
bike lanes. There are bike lanes in California. One is in San
Francisco, the other is in San Diego (I'm exaggerating a little). And
there are actually people who use a bike to drive to work. I counted 10
bikes in the parking lot of Infinite Loop Drive 1, Cupertino; one was
even a recumbent. There are more Forthers working there than bikers,
but chances are high that there is an intersection between the two
groups.
¹) you can even have breakfast on your bike while riding.
