Indeed. I love using Forth for focused tasks, like building a game in a game jam, or building chat bots. I've even collaborated with a person in a Forth game and it worked out fine because we were spending a lot of time talking about our game and working through words and gameplay. Scaling this to an app developed by a large team would be a nightmare.
(As an aside, I feel that this is what attracted the CollapseOS author to pursue Forth. Most of the folks interested in the retro collapse computing seem to really like creating artisinal/small team programs rather than large collaborations.)
