Strange? this entry: [[Arbitrary-precision_integers_(included)#ALGOL_68]]has a comment mentioning that Algol68's stack needs alteration for another task. It seems that recursion limits may be reached in accomplishing other RC tasks and Algol68 includes ways to modify it. Why not just plainly state this? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 18:31, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Fair comment. I've made another change which reduces expression of the strength of my opinions further. The comment immediately above refers to the need to expand the size of the expression stack. As numerical precision increases expressions need ever more space for sub-expression evaluation. Recursion, on the other hand, uses the system stack and I know of no way to expand that within the confines of Genie itself. I think it very important to distinguish between what a language, such as ALGOL 68, can provide and what a particular implementation of a language, such as Algol 68 Genie, provides. That's why I try hard to indicate which particular implementation and its environment is assumed when that is important.

:Sorted. Thanks. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 18:53, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
