     @LunaDragofelis when i fiddled with language design the goal was more to make a bootstrap VM that someone competent could implement from the spec in a couple days. then have a level 0 compiler that runs inside that VM. its used to prepare the next stage (where the 'actual' compiler and VMs live) and then that is used to produce any platform specifics.
     
     trying to support everything all the time doesn't scale too well but making sure a bootstrap path exists seems viable
