I started reading that from the top and got increasingly angry on the way down. That creature is a monster.
What about stacks grows to higher addresses?
Im unfamiliar with this as well. If you are allocating memory for a stack, why does it matter which direction it populates data? Is this just a convention?
I asked deepseek: Downward-growing stacks** are more common in many architectures (e.g., x86, ARM). This convention originated from early computer architectures and has been carried forward for consistency.
Funny, I can't remember, because I did a lot of assembler.
Ah thank you so its just a convention.
Arrays not starting at 1 bother me. I think the entrenched 0-based index is more important than any major push to use 1 instead, but if I could go back in time and change it I would.
Also remove null reference
Implying the orange fella has any say in programming language design and general tech conventions
didn't know donny was a forth programmer
