What Hacker News says?

  1. even a bytecode vm has to emit bytecode and then move an instruction pointer around. You can do it without using C pointer manipulation but it will always be less than ideal. This is a nice little blog post about it: https://pliniker.github.io/post/dispatchers/

  3. I'm building a YARV compatible bytecode VM using the standard CRuby code to do the lexing, parsing, and compilation. It's the first time I've built anything more complex than a toy interpreter. Interesting material here: Gluon https://github.com/gluon-lang/gluon/ https://pliniker.github.io/post/dispatchers/ https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=8fc08d2c9980aaee363d2f7842e... Finally, there's also Dora https://github.com/…
