The two languages have many similar properties.  But they were designed for
different purposes and their foundations are different.  Postscript is much
closer to Forth.

Forth was born later than LISP.  I don't think the designer of LISP knew
anything about Forth when he designed LISP.  Because of the simplicity of
Forth, many people had developed variants of Forth, such as Fifth, Sixth,
... .  I don't know any LISP written in Forth.  But I do know there
is Prolog written in Forth.
