I'll agree with the article's author - there is a quality to a Forth-style solution that just doesn't compare to other languages' styles or overall structure.

When I first heard of Forth and started trying out some of my own code, I was surprised by the initial effort it took me to adjust to writing small words vs C style functions.

I then started building on the pieces I first wrote, and it took very little code to cover my needs.

So yes, there's a very different experience, and it does take adjustment for anyone only familiar with function-style code. And it is not just what I've described, there's a whole different thought pattern involved.
