Why Does Apply With Too Many Arguments Throw "maximum Call Stack Size Exceeded"?

In Chrome and Node, the following code throws an error: function noop() {} var a = new Array(1e6) // Array[1000000] noop.apply(null, a) // Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack s

Solution 1:

Function arguments are put on the stack. You're trying to put a million arguments onto the stack, and that's more than the maximum stack size. So the error message is very relevant to the reason for the error.
