I was looking at this earlier and noticed the tree walking interpreter. Nice work with the upgrade!
For folks not familiar, basically every major interpreter today compiles to bytecode and runs on a bytecode VM. People will squabble about the term "compiler" saying it only applies to generating binary files directly but I still think it's fun almost every major interpreter is a compiler in the general sense.
The only major interpreters that do tree walking AFAIK are shells like bash.
