I don't think I agree. Programming in Mathematica has much the same 
"feel" as programming in Forth. You produce comprehensible code by 
composition of functions ("factors") rather than by procedural 
narrative. The syntax differences are superficial, I think. The 
semantics of the underlying engine are profoundly different, but that 
represents the difference in the application domains of the languages.

There we agree!
