If that Dijkstra guy happens to be the same as the one of the simplex algo
then i really bow respectfully to such a genius for feed us so well.
As for the 2-stack juggling, no worries, i'm sure you learnt some sparring
with it (i keep doing, eventhough i left C, Forth,Java, mind you, VBA! and
stopped counting the years after 50 too!).
Though i prefer to fiddle with the shell and occasionaly JS and consorts,
I do appreciate the power of the others (maybe less JAVA for betraying as
a (supposedly) light client "they" promissed 1st and now being everywhere!).

Well, i don't know much about the actual fixed state as i don't have an
official static binary to test. Nonethless, if i undertand what Denys
wrote earlier, I'm suspicious on that matter :

since bash also had the inconsistent behaviour for starters...

An extra layer of mine pro bins
  (not excluding the stone written source code obvioujsly!) :
1. "Real men do it themselves!"
  This rather conservative reasoning from the beardies of 60s-70s (though
  i only shave once in a while, so no reproch here :-) goes against many modern 
precepts :
  1. ecolo : less synergy, inefficiently wasting energy and brains
  2. ignoring the encapsulation/mudularisaation strategy of the blackbox
  in other words : lack of "trust"
  then there goes down the drain all the crypto, the socialwhaever-stuff...
2. "re-inventing the wheel" (the french have something for the 'fil a couper le 
beurre'
  but since i never used one (butter always comes prepacked nowadays)
  but yes repeating same tasks againand again with no gain but the
  satisfaction of having done something (well documented by Goldratt in his 
TOC).
  This would mean, following that philosophy that all should be adquired in kits
  to be mounted (compiled) by ourselves be it cars, bikes, drills, hovens, 
monitors...
  I got to the baker and asked for bread and she handed me a bag of flour, some 
salt and
  some yeast : "that's how we do things from now on, feel gratefull the flour 
is already ground!"
  when she saw my surprised face.
  Obviously not the world we live in... so...

I'll stop here because there would be much to add and i's go further than just 
code but
more to the core of our current social world (hopefully, i'm running my last 
miles, gotta leave
the troubleshooting to the next generations)

At least, in the bb's community, devted to optimisation and capability of 
fitting anywhere (à la swissknife)
i'd expect this train of though to resonate right and lead to some kindhearted 
dev to rpovide the necessary
bin to lower the barrier of entry to those lioke me, living in the user world 
but still ready to test and report
if nothing more.

On this and much more, whish you all seet dreams or lines of code,
