> Would anyone here assert that there's any particular programming language that's better for writing emulators, virtual machines, bytecode interpreters, etc? No, absolutely not. Emulation is super easy to implement in any language with arrays (constant-time lookup of arbitrary indices) and bit operations. At least before considering JIT. And even functional languages have arrays and bitwise operations.
