My question was, how you YOU know?  Not "how might one know".

As you're very well aware, it's not possible to ask "tens of millions of
C programmers" anything at all.  I happen to be a "C" programmer myself,
by and large.  And yet I use and develop Forth(s).

You make a bald assertion of fact, but have nothing to back it up except
hot air.

Yes, Forth is not a popular language.  No, that does not mean it's not
used by professionals for commercial purposes.  Nor does it mean it's
not the best solution for some problems, despite "losing out" to C and
other languages.

I don't presume to know what "the rest of the world" thinks; but I do
know you're full of it.
