NeWS didn't use FORTH. But HyperTIES used both FORTH and NeWS because there were a lot of things that FORTH could do that NeWS couldn't, like link and call C code. The FORTH I used was Mitch Bradley's "Sun Forth", which evolved into OpenFirmware, and which was once defined by an IEEE standard, "IEEE 1275-1994", but it was withdrawn because the standard was not reaffirmed:

>Open Firmware is described by IEEE standard IEEE 1275-1994, which was not reaffirmed by the Open Firmware Working Group (OFWG) since 1998 and has therefore been officially withdrawn by IEEE.
It's still alive and maintained and used for many things. Here's the source code, called OpenBIOS:
