OTOH, like BASIC, it *enabled* large numbers of amateurs to actually get
shit done and develop software that met their own needs when solutions
were either nonexistent or prohibitively expensive - the kind of thing
that drove the microcomputer revolution. Sure, it might've made for a

The problem is that many of those amateurs thought they were in fact 
professionals

And you could hack code *without regard to its context*

Sure I hacked a little basic, but once I started on assembler and C, my 
engineering training kicked in and it was all documented, sometimes 
planned and really quite structured.
"Every code block in assembler must have an explanation of its purpose 
that will likely be three times the length of the code."..was the 
mantra. Even today writing code that no one but me will see I have 
extensive headers for every function or code block explaining what it is 
supposed to do and often line by line comments.

And sometimes I write the comments first.

// open port

//set up event handler for asynch connection

//listen on port, and vector incoming data to handler

...and so on

Sure - but from the dawn of history, those types have *never* required
special toolsets to get in over their head. And on the flip side, far
better for amateurs to be able to create non-professional solutions
than for people to have no solution at all, when professional solutions
are either unavailable or unaffordable...

Me too. If I have to work on someone else’s code, the first thing I do is
insert some comments.

That's assuming your machine has a stack, which the IBM 360 didn't.

Presumably there was a software-defined stack in the ABI. Otherwise how

The subroutine calling convention required the calling program
to pass a pointer to a register save area.  A recursive routine
would have to allocate a save area in each instance (and, of
course, free it before exiting).  If they wanted local variables,
they'd have to allocate and free them as well.

Back to the system’s memory pool. OS allocates memory like heap storage.

Exactly . At the end of the day., someone looked at how code was 
developing and said 'y'know, all this would be a piece of piss if we 
invented a STACK'

No need to explicitly allocate and free memory.
I think it was ALGOL that first used a stack for all that - not sure.

Lots of features of Algol-60 were specified on a “nice to have, no idea 
how to implement this” basis. Then over the succeeding years, a bunch of 
clever people went away and figured out how to make it all work. And that 
was a major driver in the progress of computer science over that time.

Some of those features turned out to be really useful (e.g. lexical 
scoping); others just turned out to be really weird (e.g. call by name). 
Overall, it was a learning experience for everybody.

Presumably local variables would be allocated together with the save area.
All the assembler code I wrote used GETMAIN/FREEMAIN, then I had a
head-slapping moment a few years ago when someone said “just allocate a big
chunk of memory and allocate save areas from it to eliminate lots of SVCs.”
Of course this only makes sense when your assembler code has lots of
internal calls, not for small stand-alone subroutines.

Or if you have a userland-level API like POSIX, that specifies standard 
malloc/free routines.

That's essentially what PL/I did.  The save areas and local variables were
allocated from a big chunk of memory, and when it ran out, the subroutine
prolog called an internal PL/I routine to get a new chunk and chain them
together.  Read all about it here starting on page 158:

https://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/pli/C28-6594-4_PL1_F_Programmers_Guide_Nov68.pdf

And for the PL/I subset on the tiny 360/20, it starts on page 200:

I hear that Algol F did GETMAIN/FREEMAIN at every block or procedure
entry and exit.  Someone at Princeton hacked it to suballocate from
larger chunks and vastly improved runtime performance.

Soon after dynamic memory allocation was invented, it was discovered that 
keeping lookaside lists of free blocks in common sizes speeded up 
allocations immensely.

This was all well-known by about the 1980s, if not before.

implemented in CP67 kernal ("subpools") code 1970 (released CP67
R3) ... following from presentation I gave at SEAS 7Oct1986 (European
SHARE on isle of jersey) loots of R3.0, R3.1, & R3.2 was after I had
graduated and joined scientific center and stuff I had done at the univ
as undergraduate in the 60s (one of my hobbies was enhanced production
systems for internal datacenters).
https://www.garlic.com/~lynn/hill0316g.pdf

repeated 16Mar2011 at Wash DC HILLGANG user group meeting. 

In the morph from CP67->VM370, they dropped and/or simplified a lot of
stuff. 1974, I started migrating a bunch of stuff to VM370R2 base for my
internal CSC/VM ... including kernel reorganization for SMP
multiprocessor (but not the SMP support itself). Then for VM370R3-base
CSC/VM I do SMP support ... originally for the internal online
sales&marketing HONE systems (before it was released to customers in
VM370R4).

Well there are probably other ways to implement a stack than having it 
built into a computer.
Like a having a general purpose register reserved for a stack pointer 
and manually creating push pop call and return as macros

I don't see how you can run any code that needs to do subroutines 
without some form of stack.

Done for years before stacks were invented. You just can’t have RECURSIVE
subroutines, or at least not without a lot of work. A fairly common calling
convention, used on the 1130, saves the “next” address after the CALL in
the first word of the subroutine and jumps to the second. Arguments follow
the CALL, so you can access them using the saved word, otherwise the return
address, as an index. If you want recursion you have to stash the return
address somewhere.
