It is true that the other languages such as F/PS also have borrowed
lists from lisp in the name of nested-dictionaries and mathematica
calls them nested-tables as its fundamental data structure.

No.

you are contradicting an earlier poster from forth who admitted the
part on dicts.

Not at all. A Forth dictionary is a simple linked list, not the complicated kind of nested structures you're referring to. You really seem addicted to very complex structures. They really aren't necessary for general programming.
