Anyone have experience in stack based programming? Languages like Forth, GForth, etc. The "Polish notation" languages. It's quite a cool concept but I ran into a number of issues trying to implement a stack-based language system on my own. Definitely a more-than-meets-the-eye scenario. Easy to resolve problems in ordinary languages sometimes become mind bendingly difficult in the stack context - and vice versa. Curious if anyone else has dabbled in this area of programming.

If you're interested on getting into it, there are some great tutorials on the forth website and in the gforth manual. The concept is simple but too much for me to want to explain in the scope of a forum thread. Not many money making applications for the lang, but fun to pick up if you want a little weekend puzzle now and then.
