The idea doesn't really require Common Lisp; the same thing could be implemented in C with a bit more effort. But for me, any project mostly means Common Lisp as that's the first tool I reach for. I need a scripting language because exposing the full host language is not really scripting, pretending so is a cop out that always comes with unintended consequences. Given the right definitions, Forth reads like the kind of pseudo code most non-programmers would write; and the lack of syntactic fluff makes it a viable alternative for scenarios involving sequential processing, templating etc.
