Re: Stack vs stackless operation

Oh, so it's simpler way than anyone could guess:
"just use different term, avoid the word 'variable' ".
Done. :)

Oh dear, I hope you don't have a formal education in CS. If so, I'd ask
for my money back. You know - it's not a different term - it's a
different concept, with quite different characteristics.

Now feel free to go and ask for your money back.

Interesting.. In your class they taught computer science by Wikipedia?
Didn't they have money for real books? Must have been a real poor city
college..

At least in that college they didn't taught that
„Forth uses FIFO stack” -- as they taught you in
your really rich city college. :]

I don't think I ever did that in any publication, but even if I did -
people get confused when calling bit 0 "bit 1" because it represents
"1". They get confused choosing the wrong side when they talk about "big
endian". They get confused when classifying the 8088. They go left when
their instructor calls "right".

It's like a spelling error. Only petty people try to use that as a
counter argument. It's a different kind of error compared to proposing
"stackless operations" on a stack based language. It's like asking why a
Ferrari can't pour a concrete floor.

No, it WASN'T "spelling error"; you stated that out loud
in your "educational" YT-clip. You forgot? Or you're trying
very hard to forget? No, it wasn't just replacing L by F, you
stated that word-by-word: "Forth uses FIFO stack — first in,
first out".
I'm going to remind you:

01:45 -- but you know: Forth's stack works on the rule „last in — first
out”, not „first in, first out”. Or am I wrong?

No, you're not. I pulled it and I'm uploading an updated version.

And you try to present yourself as an authority after something
like that?

Anything wrong with the quoted definition?

Yes. You couldn't produce one. You had to look it up. Something as basic
a concept as "array".

Mr. FIFO, don't you be ridiculous again... :]
