Aborted Virtual Machine

In the computer. Straight up 'virtualising it'. And by it, let's just say. My pingus.

Ah, VMs, compilers and language development my loves..

I remember trying to write a Lua BC VM in rust. That went as well as you can imagine lol. Turns out, the documentation was very scarce and i had to use some PDF that was pretty much the best possible documentation you can get. Fun times.

In the middle of developing my own high-level binding for wasmtime in D, I had the thought of repurposing all that XML lexer thing into JIT compiling Lua (which was my first candidate for a scripting engine, until it became apparent how much the community views integers as a "red haired stepchild"), but instead I wrote yet another SDLang implementation, this time with a simple but proper DOM (not as overcomplicated as the standard XML DOM, but supports comments).
