I haven't seen RPN inside a compiler yet, but that's actually not a bad idea. Interesting article.

Aren't stack machines the bread and butter of many intermediate representations? Or is that more of an interpreter thing than a compiler thing?

They are for executable formats.

On compiler IR, the modern way is to use SSA rather.
