MOO sounds interesting [1]. Looks like some other systems, like WoW and
Second Life are using similar systems for scripting: Both translates
scripts to a byte code (Lua in WoW and LSL in Second Life, see [2]).
I think it is a good idea to use a virtual machine (VM). Java demonstrates
that it is possible to do just-in-time-compiling for bytecode, which can be
faster than C, because it could be compiled in an optimized way for the
current CPU at runtime.
What do you think which instruction set is the best to implement Lisp?
Currently I'm learning a bit the language Forth and it looks like a good
intermediate language, because it is not too difficult to compile higher
level ideas to it and it is very simple to write a VM for Forth.
