Added a point about "stack based hardware" |

Line 8:
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)).
The above ("doesn't necessarily need a stack-based processor") is true for most languages, since stacks can easily be implemented in low level software. Non-recursive sub routines can effectively be called without a stack at all, too, through self modifying code (this is how it's done on Propeller processors, AFAIK). For conveniently parsing mathematical expressions in language such as BASIC, i think that you are stuck using an expression stack, though.
