When I worked in the retail point of sale industry back in the eighties, one of the Japanese cash register/electronic scales vendors (might have been Omron, it's a long time ago) used a language they called "Fifth" which seemed to give them a software development productivity advantage. Probably a case of overlapping names for different products, since "Fifth" is such an obvious name for a "Forth" variant.
