>Forth doesn't really do data structures It doesn't hand you a ready-made solution due to its extreme minimalism, but that doesn't mean that you can't have arbitrary data structures (and have them be quite ergonomic). All it takes is a handful of lines (each) to have words for defining C-like structs, sum types, separate stacks for distinct datatypes, RAII, even generics. You only need to implement these things once, afterwards you can simply reuse that solution. To expect the language, standard library, or popular frameworks to provide all the abstractions one will ever need is unfortunately a very common attitude these days. In general, but particularly in the case of forth, it is very beneficial to understand that you are allowed to make your own abstractions. Nothing is forcing you to stay on the lowest levels of abstraction, where you only directly utilize tools the language has given you. In fact, such an approach is quite antithetical to writing forth.
