/proggles/, would you agree if I were to say that high level languages based on MREs are both fragmentated in their implementation of MRE and pityfully unstandardized, in terms of VM?
What if someone were to write a ``General Purpose Virtual Machine'' that both standardized, and provided facilities to execute code generated by compilers for said high-level languages? The benifits would be great, no? If something like this were to catch on to the point of a community, with growing support for languages in the form of compilers, it would be easy for, say, browsers, to support something like this; for it could run perl, dart, python, PHP, javascript or any other language's code if there were compilers for those languages, and it would be good.
What does /plague/ think? I personally think this should have been done a long time ago, for a few reasons; MREs take a long time and a lot of testing to implement, and their adoption rate is massive. With the same adoption rate, and a single VM in use, language developers could focus on the quality of their languages, so we don't have more shitty language like Python.
