I've done a bit of PostScript programming in the dim and distant past - the most ambitious of which was a "pretty-printer" for the YAM email client on Amiga, which otherwise just printed emails as plain ASCII.

I found PostScript to be one of those things where something "clicks" after a while, and I really started to appreciate the elegance and simplicity. The hardest part is the mental gymnastics required to track what's on the stack and in what order!

OP here. Indeed, hardest part is the initial mental gymnastics. This can be overcome by devising and enforcing some conventions that I wrote about in a separate article https://seriot.ch/projects/programming_in_postscript.html
