I don't understand the deal about "writing a

There was Algol-60 at least since 1965 or so, not to mention a host
of other languages that needed to support recursion and local
variables. So I'm a bit mystified.
In a macro assembly language module, with "PUSH" and "POP" that
worked on a data stack, and "CALL" and "RETURN" which worked on a
program stack. Didn't say it was earth-shaking... just handy as all
get-out.
