I think we have a lot more scope in this  space than we ever had.  
Technology moves and we can too. The nearer the machine the better the  
performance but it isn't always the lowest level you code at that  
counts.

At this very simple vm level I can code assembler better than the c  
compiler but beyond this it needs computation that humans cannot do in  
any practical time. So a simple vm and we get nearer the machine. I  
really like this path.
