The crucial bit is hobbyist, and, associated with it, the highy paid 
electronic enginner dabbling as an
extremely expensive and overpaid untrained programmer.

FORTH is not some magical solution, for it is largely the instruction set of 
the English Electric KDF-9,
details of which were in the professional journals BEFORE Charles Moore came 
up with FORTH.

Programming in FORTH is programming in assembly language and any real 
computing has
long set aside such a low level.

YMMV
