And we need big stacks so that people can use poor programming

stacks are small then potentially the hardware people can manufacture
very fast and as a tradeoff therefore very low capacity, special memory
to use for the stack.

nah thet talking on low stacks is probably bulshit...there is a thing called
"hardware prefetchers" and if you use that stack liek an array (and that
what as i describe is like that its an 'list') then you got it totally
pre-cached...see my other threads i incidentally was writing as an answer of what said somewhat "against" stacks
