Ouch.  I'd place my bets on the Python version of any non-trivial
application to end up more reliable/bug-free than something
written in a language as inscrutable as Forth.

(Big disclaimer: Forth is not a language in which I've ever written 
code, but I've tried reading the odd sample and Python's
readability is surely several orders of magnitude better!)
