Ah yes... I looked at it a bit when he first was hacking.

Food for thought:

Several times I have considered what it would be like to have a
'simple-unified-VM' that supported continuations (if not full
continuations -- then at least micro-threading) and could run Python,
Java Script, Ruby, ... [Visual] Basic?, Perl??, ... Java????...

It would not really be that hard -- I would give up type-strength and
speed-performance in the first go-round in favor of a tiny and simple
extremely portable VM that applied an extensible library of primitive
functions to Python-style dynamically typed objects on the heap.

P.S. Consider what would happen when I "compiled" my Java Script code
and then ran the Python de-compiler on the byte-codes... :-)
