    There are methods to generate an interpreter but AFAICT there are no real implementations. Seems to be one of those pure research fields.

    https://github.com/sillycross/PochiVM is the closest I've seen to an actual implementation but it looks mostly abandoned.

    And I'm talking about generators on the same level as flex/bison and not something like pypy where they (used to?) use abstract interpretation/partial evaluation as you're really just transforming a handwritten interpreter with all the hard work that entails.
