Embed Notice

How'd I bootstrap a bytecode interpreter for Lua upon only the devtools we've built so far & our hypothetical idiomatic computer ( https://adrian.geek.nz/from-scratch/personal-computer )?

I'd want to use our stack-based mid-level language embedded within Assembly, so we could have a table of which label to jump to for each opcode. Each would would jump back up to the start of this fetch/increment/execute loop.

I'd give these opcodes a syntax akin to that mid-level language to be used later, mostly for string literals.
