The issue with stack-based languages is that my brain is not good at keeping the stack in my head.
It's like packing things into a backpack and then only at the end learn that we are going to Alaska instead of Hawaii.

Silliness aside, I have the same problem and probably need to, yet again, beat my head against FORTH, preferably with an interpreter that somehow shows me the stack as it goes. Or maybe factor-lang instead on the grounds that it's higher level and also that I can escape to lexical variables when completely stuck.
