Why is this exposed to the user? If it isn't exposed to the user, what on earth are you talking about?

Again, I don't see how a private industry per se could even possibly be worse given the demand for a profit margin. Your beef is with some other aspect of this process.

I mean, all industries? The profit margin guarantees this. Anyone who has worked in private industry will verify its utter incompetence in the long term.

Again, this can't be worse than private industry—that profit margin will guarantee this. I guarantee there is some other disease to blame for the waste—probably politicians of some…

Is this something where a public competitor might help? It surely can't be worse than private industry.

I don't think anyone uses a stackless fortran.

Ok sure, but FORTRAN still uses a stack in any of its relevant forms.

Nothing.

Is there a language which is not stack-based? I imagine "concatenative" would be mildly more precise of a description. Coroutines (which often carry their own stacks) can sort-of d…

That's wonderful! Full endorsement of the support of rsync.net. I sincerely doubt most tools will be supported by most providers (by usage), however, and I question the evaluation …
