I hate that I think you are probably correct. I especially think you hit a strong line of thought with the portions of Forth’s aesthetic and idioms that are very much a product of hyper constrained resources from the time period of its release. The issue of lack of standard library is a part of that time period effect as well, I think any new language has to come with some basics in 2022 which would have been extravagant prior to 1975 (maybe even later if C is any guide).
I really am drawn to a Forth—esque syntax, but i think that has more to do with the type theoretical and categorical semantics of my language and it’s projectional properties than simple appearance. Fortunately I don’t think I am ever going to release it, so I don’t have to worry about general acceptance.
