DWARF

A survey of bytecode VMs found in unlikely places (eBPF in Linux, DWARF/GDB expressions, WinRAR’s RarVM, GPU shader interpreters), with concrete numeric specs illustrating their scope and evolution.

A solo developer chronicles building a low-level, statically-typed language (pslang) for game modding, detailing its architecture (parser, IR, AArch64 backend), an interpreter/JIT path, and future plans, with concrete data points such as ~10k lines of C++ code and a 1k-line Monte Carlo path tracer.
