"Who thinks in terms of CPU registers these days..."
That's pretty much the only way I think these days, but I guess assembly does not qualify as "modern language" even though it can and is used to control the lion's share of the world's "modern" computers. Matters little to me; I'm hooked.
I do not write in Lua, and I am sure I will be quickly corrected by someone who does, but isn't it considered both (virtual) "register-based" and "modern"? My sincerest apologies to the Lua experts if I am wrong.
- gliptic 11y agoThe VM uses registers (as opposed to e.g. a stack), but that's an implementation detail and not anything you think about when you write Lua.
