I can't believe a computer expert wouldn't know that. I mean, FORTH is
only, like, the most important programming language *ever*! Next you'll
be telling me you don't know who Babbage is...

Didn't he write programs with the alphabet soup his wife Ada made for him?

If you are referring to the SDL as a "programming language", that is
a real memory hog.

Even if it was a "programming language", HTML is probably one of the
*least* memory-efficient languages ever.

No I am referring to the way SDL handles datastructures. I assume that
they are designed to let the scene use as little memory as possible. I
could be wrong, but I shouldn't. ;)

If you make, for example, an array of objects with the SDL, it is
a memory hog.

Heh. To be fair, I've written at least two complete FORTH interpreters.
:-) Still, it wasn't actually popular until the 80's.

Helpful housekeeping hints:
Check your feather pillows for holes
before putting them in the washing machine.

I bet it won't be too different in that regard.
