One's stack comment is explicit. And as a programmer I can manage it 
just fine without needing to call extra functions.

So would we all. We're just disagreeing about the best way to achieve that.

By writing the stack comment you are being up-front about the 
expectations of this word, and you are the best person to ensure you are 
following it. If your words are short and well-factored, that will be 
easy for you. I recommend to newbies that they write definitions 
vertically with a stack comment on each line, but that's not necessary 
as you get more experienced.

Yes, there is an element of personal taste in choice of language. 
Forthers like a simple language and are willing to accept a lot of 
responsibility in exchange for a lot of freedom.

Very interactive: type in a short definition, try it, integrate it with 
the rest of your code, test that, repeat. What experienced Forth 
programmers never do is write huge definitions or large amounts of code 
without trying any of it.
