What is a good modern Forth to play around with?

Is it still used im some industry?

I've mostly only come across in-house tools that have been inspired by FORTH, or used it as an embedded language for company back-end tools.

I suspect gforth is the most common way to get started. Though it has to be said more people probably write forth-interpreters than write serious code using the actual language.

Embedded use might be one of the rare exceptions, as it can be used to give a very lightweight environment.
