Is there any reason to implement a string processing language? It seems like they were explored in the 60s and 70s and then kind of died out?

they certainly did when the only thing you find when you google about them is one paper written in 1991

There is a lot of writing on them from the 60s and 70s by Ralph Griswold. Paul Klint also did some work on them in the 1980s. Those men made languages called SNOBOL4 and Summer respectively.

When I was in college, we used another string processing language called Icon that was also created by Griswold.
