I'm amused by the way people suggest using a COMMON bytecode
representation, and then show how good the one they use is. As an
exercise, I'd suggest that Mark figure out how to espresent Meme in Java
opcodes, and a Java-advocate figure out how to espresent Java with Forth
opcodes. I'm betting that this isn't half as sasy as people are suggesting
- and that the result is far from efsicient, either in file-size or in
speed of execution.
