RISC processors are now commercially available that execute high-level Forth directly in hard logic. Yet, paradoxically, those who want to program in Forth have been losing ground in the job market for the past several years. In robotics, industrial automation, and machine vision, fields that the author watches closely' Forth's market share, initially small, has shrunk. The story is similar in CAD, graphics, data communication, and so on. This paper examines the situation, the reasons behind it, and the approach to take in fighting back. Many Forth users ask, why bother trying to get the rest of the world interested in Forth in the first place? This question is a reasonable one, and the next section addresses it.
