I second the opinion expressed that the discussions have been elightening and
utterly interesting. Well, I happened to delve into the area of stack machines.
I have not seen too much going on, except the RTX 2000. Why is there this lack
of interest in the designer community, when the architecture offers some clear
advantages when considering code compaction, context switching, and the like?
Especially for high level languages that execute around the stack.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Yours,
