> Hi folks. I will start a sequence of VM related posts called “Journey through the VM”,  similar to what Igor did in Deep Smalltalk School. My main focus is that a regular Smalltalker, without any knowledge in VM stuff can understand the basis of it (ObjectMemory, Interpreter, etc). In addition, I expect the reader can download, change, compile,  run, and debug (and why not fixing?) the VM.

Moreover, I will explain what a primitive is, how they are executed by the VM, how you can write your own primitives, etc. FFI and writing your own plugin are also in my plans.
