I remember EEs at a prior company using Forth years ago. They used to "extend" the language set by "adding" their own instructions. Then they couldn't remember "how" their own instruction worked (these were EEs doing this stuff not software guys...../me waits for the verbal abuse to come in), so rewrote it for other code later on. Seemed very powerful but didn't see much use (at least at that company). I'm not surprised it didn't really go anywhere.
