ah so other languages emulate harvard to a degree. I wonder if performance could improve by reimplementing a C like language based on a von neumann abstract machine inspired by something other than a PDP. thanks for your response
- Dylan16807 2mo agoIt's a similar distinction, but not really? Harvard is about separating code and data and C still does that with high reliability. Pointers and the stack and the important return addresses on the stack are all data. Strong barriers between different pieces of data are a different concern.
