You're using the datastack as a data structure. That's like calling a
varargs function in C -- in your case, loop could consume any number
of elements on the stack.
The implementation of the listener doesn't restrict code like this,
but the compiler does. You have to know how many arguments from the
datastack will be used at every point in your program.
If you wanted your loop to stop when something was equal to 5, you
could use find on an array:
{ 1 5 4 3 2 } [ 5 = ] find
Also, what Joe said.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
