Yet forthers have no problem with this.  Take the SwiftForth source code.
At best you'll get a general comment as to what a function does.  How do
they maintain it - the same way anyone proficient in C maintains C code.

Certainly it was a Forther who found cmForth needed that extra
documentation, and took the trouble to write it.  C code as I mentioned
partially self-documents because it uses named variables in places where
Forth would have the value in an anonymous stack slot.

I looked at some of the SwiftForth library code (the stuff on their web
site) and I did find that pretty readable.
