I'm looking into creating a VM for a language I'm building, and was going to base it on LLVM which is written in C++. I'd rather not have to deal with C++ though, and since Felix can natively integrate with C++ with much stronger typing, I'm wondering whether it would be a good fit for this application.
In particular, my VM requires control over allocation (ie. no implicit allocations), and clearly performance is important in this instance. To clarify the motivation Re: allocations, I'm looking at building a resource-aware VM, and thus each allocation must be booked to specific agent. If the VM performs implicit allocations, then the VM is open to a denial of resource attack against the memory subsystem since any malicious agent can induce these implicit allocations until memory is exhausted.
