I should imagine implementing a register-based VM on a register-based CPU is going to have some advantages over a stack-based VM implemented on a register-based CPU. I wonder how well a register-based VM would fair on a stack-based CPU.


That's interesting. Are there any actual stack-based CPUs out there today?



That's fascinating. Would love to see what performance such thing can actually perform.

Can you elaborate why is that? What would those advantages be in practical terms?
