I had two paying jobs that used Forth. The second was for a test rig for 
aircraft fuel and management systems. The company paid my way to the Forth 
conference in Rochester, NY. The most interesting part was Charlie Moore, 
who is a bit strange. He had a handheld keyboard for one handed typing 
that was sort of like learning chords on a guitar. They were recruiting 
Forth programmers for a airport baggage handling system -- in Riyadh. Good 
money but I passed. 

'Threaded Interpretive Languages: Their Design and Implementation' by  R. 
G. Loeliger was interesting and walked through a design for a Forth like 
language.

if you need something to do this winter. iir there was an amazingly small 
kernel in Z80 assembler and you bootstrapped your way from there.

The best description I've heard is 'Forth -- the language where the 
programmer is the preprocessor.'
