A comment on Who Uses Forth?.

I don't use Forth, but I do use dc on the Mac/Unix command line, which is also RPN.

I believe Forth was originally used by astronomers more than anyone else, but for that use I suspect lua has made inroads.

As far as astronomy goes, it appears that lua is not much of a player
