I think that applies to all programming languages :)

  No, many languages have a grammar in order to reject malformed programs, so that not every sequence of words is a program. AFAIK, you can define your own FOR loops in FORTH, but you can't enforce statically that each FOR has a matching LOOP; the mismatched program will happily run and corrupt the return stack (if you use the return stack top to store the loop index so that it will be available using the magic word I).

    That is true - i'll give you that. TBH I have fallen down that hole.
