Guess my answer :) Why would we throw away the three months igor spent making sure that idiot like me can compile the VM without problems. And more important Git (which I hate for my article) is socially the way to go for the VM = message to cool C hackers yes you are welcome to clean and improve our VM (it deserves it and once of these days we will have to do something… because we are losing against simpler, nicer VM like lua (C-embedding, ….). JB is fighting to get the stack vm compiling on a funky micro pro and the VM dusty code is getting in our way. Stef
