Completely wrong, it was called Postscript, ran on laser printers and solved a significant real problem for decades. As in: describing graphics.
Nobody in their right mind would willingly choose to implement an application in Forth, beyond a trivial micro-controller. It was a fun little toy language for the 80s, and yes, I used it; but would frankly much rather program in assembly.
Is there a point in this?
