FYI, bitcoin's programmable signature language is Forth. Variants of Forth are used on many NASA spacecraft and rovers. Forth is doing quite well, thank you :)

- jacquesm 12y ago> Forth is doing quite well, thank you :) I know. But I feel that it still has not reached anywhere near its potential and I'm not sure if it ever will. First time I worked with it was in the 1980's, I've been only an observer since then but the bug never left me. It's a language for the equivalent of software jewelers.
- mud_dauber 12y agoI used Forth professionally in an industrial single-board computer product in the late 1980s. But I haven't see it "in the wild" since, with the exception of the occasional mention in spacecraft control.
- jacquesm 12y agoThere's a good chance that one of the embedded systems in your car uses it. Especially the really small ones (too small to run RTOS).
