That very much depends on what the end result would be.

True. What I should have said is that Guido believes the outcome would be too convoluted. Christian's original Stackless implementation certainly was, and to my knowledge nobody has ever suggested a way to do better.

If someone could come up with a plan for a stackless interpreter that was just as straightforward as the existing one, that would be worth considering. But I won't be holding my breath.
