> Some Forth enthusiasts like the language for itself. They think that its easier to express much of the logic of a program in this language. Many books and tutorials are touting this. [...] That's not my opinion.

In my opinion, it's not that FORTH code is hard to read, but that FORTH gives the programmer so much freedom that every program becomes its own microcosm of DSLs.
