Forth. Sorry I misspelled. It was used quite a bit in robotics, and the scientific community. Servo control, hardware control that kind of thing. I loved the language. It unfortunately it is not a practical language for applications.
When I was using clipper we were using 8" floppy's and 14" platters for the hard drives.

I enjoyed using clipper it was so much faster that the dbase interpreter, although I cannot remember all the advantages.

Of course all of us old guys used Fortran. It was powerful, but I never enjoyed using it. Unfortunately, any time I worked on some old goverment program it was either Fortran, ADA or Cobal.
