Are there any practical and somewhat popular stack-based/concatenative languages? 'Popular' here doesn't need to mean that popular, something on a similar usage level to some Lisp dialects, or functional languages like Haskell.

Haven’t checked up on Factor in quite a while—have others picked up the work after Pestov was spirited away to Apple and locked in a room with nothing except Swift? That’s some good news if so.
