As someone who has been learning forth over the last like... 2 weeks... yeah. Somehow my brain was like 'this', and it just sorta clicks really nicely in a way that no other language has so far. I also really like Lisp fwiw, so if you see me in a room, you've seen a Lisper and Forther in the same room ;)
What's interesting to me is that I see Lisp and Forth as extremely similar-in-spirit languages, though FORTH is definitely "lower level" (pointer arithmetic everywhere) than Lisp. Depending on your implementation, I bet you could squeeze out nearly every bit of performance to be had on a given system with forth (given enough time), but I'd be really surprised if you could with any lisp.
