I'm pretty ignorant about this stuff, so please don't think I'm trolling.
I'm confused when you speak of a virtual machine with regard to C... can you explain what you mean by this?
I had to wikipedia the Burroughs machine. I guess the big deal is that it's a stack machine? It looks very interesting and I plan to read more about it. But I guess I don't understand why that is a hindrance to C.
The JVM is a stack machine, isn't it?
btw, I haven't read the article yet. It's my habit to check comments first to see if the article was interesting, and seeing your comment made me want to reply for clarification.
