These pages give you some real world customers and projects.

Apart from the hundreds of apps that come with 4tH, there are countless ones
that are just nog general enough to include them. In my professional work I
use it mainly for ETL applications. For that purpose I got XML, CSV and
custom readers, XLS, RTF, LaTeX, ODS, HTML and JSON writers and it helps
that nowadays 4tH comes with a tiny DBMS.

I make technology for games and animation for personal use and for teach.
Developer tools too.

Ruby:

s = ("I am not a troll or bring smartguy.\n" * 2)
[/a .*(?=s)/, /g../, /n.. (?=a)/, / o.*y/].each{|rx| s.sub!(rx,"")}
puts s

 ===>
I am not smart.
I am a troll.

My use has been for test fixtures for production.

Recently I had a problem with the test fixture.  To debug the issues I 
needed to create a loop so the events could be scoped.  I was able to 
write a short program and have the test tech load it the same way he 
loads the test fixture program and collect the data remotely.  I think 
this was easier to do remotely than if I had been using another language.

1.) People use Forth for writing programs that do something useful. :-)

2.) People use ANS-Forth for hanging out on comp.lang.forth braying about how they set the standard for Forth, and how all Forth programmers depend upon them for leadership.

If you want to stop being a troll, join the first group --- write a program that does something useful!

Or write a program that does something useless --- my first-ever ANS-Forth program was LowDraw.4th that calculates the probabilities for various low-draw poker strategies --- this is despite the fact that low-draw poker was pretty much obsolete at the time.

Note that writing an ANS-Forth program, such as I did with LowDraw.4th etc., will not make you an ANS-Forth programmer --- I'm still not an ANS-Forth programmer, 8 years later --- I will never be an ANS-Forth programmer.

The only way to make money with programming is in micro-controllers --- desktop-computer software is always given away for free --- so a useful Forth program (assuming that "useful" implies making money) has to be done in a non-standard micro-controller Forth.

Of course there are other ways of being a troll which Hugh can teach a 
class in.  But lately he has been mostly civil and not prone to his 
rants - aside from the above snide remark he has been discussing Forth 
like a normal person.

I'm not sure you've read the posts I've been reading. Either that, or 
you're Trump.

I'm afraid I don't know what you are talking about.  I don't read 
everything in this group and I don't read everything Hugh writes.  Are 
you saying he has been on a rant lately?  Or are you saying he doesn't 
go on rants?

It's possible to like music yet not be a musician.  You can like the
results of Forth but it only goes so far.
