I’m that old - if you mean UCSD-P code. Actually, James Gosling himself told me 
his idea for the JVM bytecode was inspired by his time porting UCSD-P to 
various hardware. ooRexx once had a VM and bytecode - before / during Java 
development. It was in the air so to say. But the llvm - asm.js - webasm route 
seems very tempting.

best regards,

René.
