C has so many decisions that feel odd, but make so much sense! (Yes, I love C).

I'm in the process of building a tiny programming language for some Arduinos, as part of a homebrew computer.

I'm making the memory space as a stack.

But how to have a variable know it's location in the stack?

Return an int! Oh, I just reinvented the typeless pointer C has.

PLT exploration is fun, exciting, and love reading about experiments like Magpie and Wren.

But... I still use C99 at work every day, and there's nothing wrong with that.
