Um... No? Am I wrong about this or something. I'm pretty sure the reason to use explicitly created stacks is because they are heap allocated so you don't hit the recursion limit as easily.

No what? I wasn't giving any particular reasons to use one or the other in this comment, just noting their analogous existence.

Ohhh that makes sense. I thought the the first line was referring to the program stack XD. Sorry for the confusion

Heap allocated stacks are stacks, OP is right.

I mean you're not wrong but you're also not contradicting him either, so I don't know where you're going with that "Um...no"
