Mark Hammond wrote/is writing (?) a compiler that lets Python
run on this Microsoft VM that runs C#, if i recall correctly.
I suppose that that VM shares the same disadvantages
the Java VM has? Does anybody know more? (I suspect
it is the case because Microsoft is kind of imitating this Java VM
thing, and if i were to invent a VM, i wouldn't give it such a
feature unless somebody requested it or i was i, which i wouldn't
be if i invented a VM that wouldn't have it because it would be
so cute. Forget the last sentence.)
