   I don't see how that would be an issue?  Spitbol is pretty readable and   
   it was originally written in IBM 360 assembly language, and probably   
   keypunched.  It is heavily commented though.  FigForth and cmForth were   
   pretty unreadable to me, I think, partly from lack of code comments, but   
   also partly because of Forth itself.
