Forth: The programming language that writes itself: The Web Page
Is Google down again? Bummer.
FORTH is still used to bring up new silicon because of its tiny core, you only need a couple of working assembly instructions to bootstrap yourself into a working system, you could do this entirely in cache or a small static RAM if you don't have a working memory controller yet.
It is also used all over the place in embedded controllers, https://arduino-forth.com/ , http://www.piclist.com/techref/microchip/language/forths.htm , https://github.com/nimblemachines/muforth , from PICs to ARMs and everything in between.
You won't see a lot of hype around it and repos tend to be old because they 'just work', typically a user of such a system would download it and customize it to the point that sharing it would be pointless, the whole idea is to extend the language to become the application.

muforth
From the github README: "muforth is a small, simple, fast, indirect-threaded code (ITC) Forth intended for use as a cross-compiler for microcontrollers and other embedded devices. It is written in C and its core is very portable. Because of its Forth nature, it is naturally extensible, scriptable, and customizable."

That can be very productive and clever, but be - and stay - aware that such polyglot solutions tend to be maintenance headaches in the longer run.
There is a really nice open source project out there that allows you to train your hearing and your sightreading, but it's written in the authors own language which in turn compiles to JavaScript and the headache to set up their toolchain is such that I haven't bothered fixing any of the bugs that I'm aware of (and there are plenty).

It's written in a language called 'Moonscript':

Which compiles to Lua. Which compiles to JS.
Madness. Nice madness, but still, it stopped me from being a contributor.
