This appears to be very heavily influenced by x86. Why would a VM built in 2011 use an ISA stuck in the 80's?
EDIT: I'm not trolling, I'm seriously wondering. There's plenty of literature out there on the advantages of three-operand instructions, large register spaces, and RISC-type instructions. Was there a reason that x86 was used as a basis?
