It's probably up there, for sure! But I'd guess that there are a million toy Lisp implementations, and more people are interested in writing a FORTH interpreter than actually using one in production. So I'd guess if we tried to get statistics it wouldn't be at the top.
Though there's probably a similar claim to be made for the Monkey-language from Torsten Bell, via his books on compilers and interpreters.
