Exactly. Every language has its natural way of doing things. You can usually bludgeon a language into doing things some other way, and newcomers to a language usually try to do exactly that. Eventually they catch on to the idioms. Storing temporary values in variables in a stack language is like iterating through the items of a list in Python by incrementing an integer and using it as an index. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
