Both have various containers, and both allow iteration and various operations on them. But Oforth is OOP-oriented, hence the polymorphism, while 8th is explicitly non-OOP. Despite that, one may get confused and think 8th is OOP since there is an "each" word for arrays, maps, etc. (and many other similar things). It has a veneer of OOP-ishness. Do you implement your OOP using some sort of 'vtable' dispatch mechanism?
