The standard VM writers learning process. Now he just has to find out the advantages to optimize the data structures (smaller size), and maybe switch to a register VM, with 32bit ops. Smaller data will be much faster than jump-table optims.
- dang 4y agoCan you please keep swipes/putdowns out of your HN posts? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Your comment would be better without the first bit ("The standard VM writers learning process") and the patronizing "Now he just". There are better, friendlier ways to convey information about register VMs. (I realize you may not have intended your comment to be swipey or patronizing, but it reads that way to me, and presumably to other readers too, since they downvoted it.)
