Umm… no. What language is used on a project is typically two things: (1) did the manager hear it in a buzzword laden tech talk, (2) do the programmers assigned to the project know the language already. The only other one that comes up is typical only to those who have the power to choose and also the wisdom: is it the right tool for the job. On this, Forth will usually fail. There are a lot of tools the programmer would need to self implement. Unless he/she were working in an insanely constrained environment, Forth is likely not the best choice for maintainability and time requirements.
