NOW ... but not "then" ..... everybody has become spoiled by fast CPUs with lots of memory. This is not ubiquitous though, many microcontroller projects may still have to deal with very very tight resources/speed. Still, for MOST uses I'd rec a good 'C' compiler and/or some ASM. 'C' compilers can be VERY tight these days if you set all the right flags, maybe tighter than some hand-coded ASM. Of course something like the PIC-12x series are too tiny for even FORTH. But if you want/need an interpreter ... FORTH may still be your best choice for such environments. Even MicroPython is a fat pig compared to FORTH. I like the Pic12x units because you can program them to emulate two or three of the (faster) 74HC logic chips, add a little pre-processing IQ for even cheaper than the 74HC chips. ANYway, I'd say there may still be some joy in FORTH ... if you're open to the experience.
