Precisely - which is what I meant by "And I'm not counting the deliberately C-like style of the VM code."
Having written big chunks of CCodeGenerator, some of which are in the release and many of which you will never need to suffer, I know all too well the tradeoffs and 'interesting' problems involved. Despite which, I agree that it is much nicer to have as much as possible within the VM. I would have loved to have been able to simulate & debug the VM operation back when I was at ParcPlace!
