in reply to 3 Criticisms of the Parrot Project for Perl 6

"Stack machine" describes a machine, or a virtual machine described by an instruction set, that doesn't use register numbers. Parrot's instruction set, however, does use register numbers. Therefore, it is not a stack machine.

Shame on you for not researching this....
