Here are some more languages (from computer algebra).
Each has had hundreds if not thousands of users.
Scratchpad a general-purpose language originally written
for computer algebra at IBM Research in the
1980s. It features abstract parametrized datatypes,
multiple inheritance and polymorphism. Implementations
exist under VM/CMS and AIX. Authors include
Richard Jenks, Barry Trager, Stephen M. Watt and
Robert S. Sutor.
Maple the interpreted language for the Maple computer
algebra system developed at the University of
Waterloo (Canada) in the 1980s. Authors include
Gaston Gonnet, Keith Geddes, Stephen M. Watt and
Michael Monogan.
Mathematica the interpreted language for the Mathematica
computer algebra system developed by Wolfram
Research in the late 1980s.
Macsyma the language for the Macsyma computer algebra
system developed at MIT, Symbolics and others
in the 1970s and 1980s.
