I really don't see this as being appropriate to the list -- so file any
additional requests for information to my e-mail address, ok? -- anyway,
the situations you described all would likely involve a microcontroller in
some fashion. FORTH has found quite a niche in the Microcontroller
market... in it's interpretive mode it is small and incredibly fast (I'm
writing the run-time compiler so I can make it 'even faster' at the
expense of taking up more space than interpreted code). Getting to the
point, FORTH is perfect for any microcontroller applications you might
have.
Lastly - if you were just shitting me (and with those insanely long ideas,
e.g. "Interplanetary Vehicle Flight Propulsion Manoevuring Control System"
you better be kidding <g>) - then stop while you're ahead.
