Is forth considered to be in the same niche?


Not really. Forth is nowadays only used for tiny embedded systems.

In contrast, C is the glue language for pretty much everything. Even the latest operating systems like iOS and WinRT use C as the base level API language that is callable from anywhere. They do have significant libraries and conventions to manage that (Apple uses CoreFoundation, Microsoft uses COM), but it's still C.
