For what it is worth, in my quest for learning more about VMs I've taken a detailed look at the Z-machine with an eye to converting between Z-code and Parrot. I gave up 'cos it really wasn't designed for simplicity. It's all horrid and like a real-life machine, with lots of exceptions and lots of new ops in the later versions.
