Beginning to believe that the VM/interpreter is the ultimate programming pattern.

The fact it's possible to write a compiled programming language in itself blew my mind when I first learned about it.

The fact it's possible to

- write a VM

- write a language that runs on the VM

- bootstrap the language

- write the VM in the language, compiling it to run on itself

- jet the VM implementation against itself (not to mention the fact this allows infinite virtualisation with negligible performance degredation)

resulting in a semi-interpreted language that is written in itself, still blows my mind today.
