Also many Virtual Machines are stack-based, but others are not, like the Java VM ((not sure what this link should Link to, right now I set it to 'Jvm'). |

The Forth language uses two stacks, one for argument passing and one for subroutine return addresses. The use of a return stack is extremely commonplace, but the somewhat unusual use of an argument stack for a human-readable programming language is the reason Forth is referred to as a stack-based language. Many Virtual Machines are stack-based, such as the Java virtual machine and the [Python virtual machine]?. |
