The greater point I'm making is that the language does not have a "stack nature" in any real or useful sense.

It has implemented syntax superior to Forth's by using variables and by using Smalltalk-like keyword (i.e., infix) syntax. Yes, there is a remainder of Forth-like stack syntax for expressions. It's ugly, jarring, hard to understand, and comes without any advantages since the Smalltalk-like parts require the language to use a real parser anyway!
