I love virtual machines (VMs) and I have done for a long time.If
that makes me "sad" or an "anorak," so be it. I love them because
they are so much fun, as well as being so useful. They have an
element of original sin (writing assembly programs and being in
control of an entire machine), while still being able to claim that
one is being a respectable member of the community (being
structured, modular, high-level, object-oriented, and so on). They
also allow one to design machines of one's own, unencumbered by the
restrictions of a starts optimising it for some physical particular
processor (at least, until one processor or other). I have been
building virtual machines, on and off, since 1980 or there abouts.
It has always been something of a hobby for me; it has also turned
out to be a technique of great power and applicability. I hope to
continue working on them, perhaps on some of the ideas outlined in
the last chapter (I certainly want to do some more work with
register-based VMs and concur rency). I originally wanted to write
the book from a purely semantic viewpoint."
