      A different way to say the same: in forth, words get pushed on the stack, and popped from the stack by words that take arguments:

          code           stack
          I Forth love
      
          Forth love     I
      
          love           I
                         Forth
      
          ; love presumably pops
          ; subject, object args
          ; from stack - and does something 
          ; perhaps prints as side effect

      Forth I assume uses reverse polish notation: arguments before the operator.

      3 4 +

      for example, would return 7.

        The stack is really a convenience that makes pipeline-driven programming possible in the language.

        > would return 7

        more pedantically, it would push 7 onto the stack

      Forth uses RPN so the "verb" is last.

      That is, you provide the data first (I and Forth) and the command (heart) last.
