> Can I program directly with VM language !
It's not a language, but a machine code specification. If you want
to make a file of bytes that conform to the spec, go for it !
> Is there a tool for that !
No !
> Would this be a security hole ?
No ! Bad code will get caught by the interpreter's verifier. If you
find a case where it doesn't, let us know !
> Thanks !
You're welcome ! BTW, who invented this silly conversational form ?
