> I've yet to be comfortable with the stack-based paradigm of Forth,

It's really not as hard as it looks. You just write a lot of Forth for a couple of months, and suddenly it seems way easier than anything else. You don't have to name anything, you know? "Take this, do this, then do this", it comes out easy to write and easy to read. Forth people report that they used to do a lot of stack-manipulation when they started, lots of dup over rot swap, but then after a while you notice that your code requires almost none, and at least empirically, I can say that is the case: you don't plan it, just you get used to the language and then everything starts being on the stack in the place where you need it to be.
