I like to remind of the youtube FORTH2020 of Wagner. This concerns
motions of aircraft, position speed, pitch roll and yaw etc.
Terribly complicated, no LOCAL's. There was a question whether LOCAL's
could have made Wagners code easier.
He stated the ideal (paraphrased by me) that "code is its own comment"

He said he uses the hardware fp stack for speed.  Is he really only
using 8 levels of stack?

 
8 level is plenty as long as you refrain from recursion that in
Wagners context would be not even remotely useful.

Puzzling because of a thread here not long ago in which scientific users
appear to suggest the opposite.  Such concerns have apparently been around
a long time:
