Then why did the auto and aerospace industry standardize on C/C++ instead of Forth? Just because something is sometimes better doesn't mean it's also more economical in production. You're still limited by budget constrains. With that budget you need to hire and/or train SW developer. It doesn't matter that X language might be better if you can't find and/or train people with experience on it. So you're better off using C with safety.
