The thing that Forth taught me about Computer Science is that syntax
is a waste of time.  Not only is syntax a waste of time, in lots of
cases it is harmful, because it boxes you in and prevents you from
doing something next year.

Some Forth programmers have argued that most of CS is a waste of time.
I do not concur.
