Eh, as far as compiler backends go, the RPN stack was worse.
I thought the X86_64 instruction set was a giant kludge-fest, so I was looking forward to implement the AArch64 code generator. Turns out it is just as kludgy, but at right angles. For example, all the wacky ways of simply loading a constant into a register!
