One of the known applications of FORTH is to use it in bootloaders.
As far as I remember Forth was used in bootloader of Solaris.

Perhaps someone will one day replace tboot with another more advanced
program using for example forth interpreter.
At the moment tboot interpreter has subcommands : info,dir and a few
more used for debugging(go ??).

Also editors often use such languages like lisp(emacs),scheme (pm) etc
as macro language.

Anyway possibilities offered by Your forth look impressive.

OpenBoot.  Also used by RS/6000s.

Like maybe Grub.
