The quote makes more sense IMO for array languages like J that support a tacit style. J's "trains" just make things flow without a lot of variables. Aaron Hsu's Co Dfns compiler (spoken about on here and YouTube) also uses this style with Dyalog APL.
Forth is concatenative, so you can build the words on top of each other without worrying about a ton of variables. So I think it's partially true for Forth.
