Yeah that makes sense. I think programming is becoming more and more heterogeneous. So it's possible that stack machines will make a resurgence for some applications, driven by huge power savings. I like Forth but feels a bit "old" to me, i.e. in that it doesn't have common data structures like hash tables. I wonder if a higher level stack language like Joy would run better on a stack machine vs. x86. But once you are higher level, the procedure call time doesn't really matter. I haven't ever programmed any application where procedure call time is a factor... it almost seems like the last thing to optimize.
