I see it as the prize of leaving the responsibility of generating
effective
code to a virtuel mashine to the programmer person, that forth is
difficult.
   
Stack visualisation is a training matter, and comments to definitions
makes
it clear what arguments is used, but the use of definitions without any
forced parameter naming or chekking, is a very much weaker abstraction
support than the common named variable/parameter paragdigm used in other
languages.

Some 25 years ago i amused my self with this interesting mashine - reading
in this group intersting i the way, that the terms of that time falls in
the picture of computing today.
