Why not? I suspect that every 2nd or 3rd person on this board has had
a go at implementing their own concatenative language and many of us
are still at it.
Each one trying to improve on Joy in some way using their own ideas or
ideas presented on this message board.
Others may just be doing it as an exercise or for fun considering that
simple, interpreted concatenative languages are easy, trivial even, to
implement.

The Joy implementation hasn't changed much and it's still a toy
language that while useful for research of concatenative languages,
it's not practical for much else.
That is yet another reason why many of us decided to have a go at
implementing our own languages.
