Why not? They're tools, not fashion items. If you dig a bit deeper you'll find an entire category of people writing software using powerful, mature tools. The reason it's not as commercially feasible is that most problems are not really that difficult any more. And since the software won't break every three months because of moving targets, no one will call for your help once it's in place.
- paxcoder 10y agoThe world is big; you can find a few people doing whichever thing, even if weird. But unlike free software developers, companies are still mostly local (as opposed to remote). That's why I'm guessing you're indulging your intellect with these projects rather than building tools to support commercial software development. To be specific, I'd have a hard time imagining a "difficult problem" for which Forth would be the solution. As for Lisp, I realize Clojure is pretty successful, but my best guess for the reason is the JVM.
