[stack] Functional Stack Based Languages are Fast

You all may probably realize this, but functional stack-based
languages have great potential for efficient performance and
concurrency.

Today I managed to get an algorithm written in Cat to outperform C# by
43% on my two-processor machine.

Just thought you might be interested!

I'll keep you posted as I get some more benchmarks going. The Cat
quicksort results should bee very interesting.
