>>Forth is a million languages that solve almost nothing." :-P
That brings us to the question, when it was invented and people did use it. What kind of problems were they solving with it?

The usual alternative to Forth on those systems was assembly language.
Nowadays almost nothing is written in Forth. That's the problem with Forth. Even on 8-bit Arduino microcontrollers with 2kiB of RAM, we write programs in C++ (with a little bit of C, on top of hand-coded AVR assembly).
