Even Java drives me crazy counting () and {} nesting depths. Can you
imagine the effect of Lisp?
In Forth, everything is the same precedence. It takes some getting
used to, but eventually is becomes easier to read than precedence
languages. There are no subtle rules to trip you up.
Java trips me up frequently with + meaning either addition or
concatenation depending on the phases of the moon. They really should
have sprung for a separate concatenation operator, or at least have
IDEs display the + in a different colour or font depending on which it
means.
I also choke every time see a cast. Just what in the chain is it
casting?
