Obj-C and Forth have no commercial impact?

Obj-C is the basis for Apple's next OS, Rhapsody.  Forth is in
thousands of calculators, thousands of Suns, thousands of expansion
cards etc.  I could go on.

Python has little commercial impact, I'll give you that.

But who cares?  Working with what has 'commercial impact' gave us
MS-DOS and Windows, Cobol and C++.  This is the direction you want to
keep the business heading in?
