This article should be split up in 2 articles. It confuses 2 meanings of stack-based languages: 1. Languages that define all operations as stack based (this article). 2. Languages that need stack-based processors, hence are inherently stack-based languages.

Indeed a lot of languages are stack-based: C, C++, Pascal, Modula, Smalltalk, Visual Basic. In fact all /most(?) function-based languages need a stack-based processor.

BASIC (the version with line number) is a language that doesn't necessarily need a stack-based processor (that is, when no subcalling is implemented (GOSUB)).
