MiniVM: A zero-dependency cross-language runtime on par with LuaJIT and C
I think bins/boot.bc in the paka repo is a minivm binary file that does bootstrapping for paka.

MiniVM: A minimal cross-language runtime that beats C/luajit on some benchmarks
Personally, I find it pretty impressive that it performs as well as these runtimes despite not having a JIT compiler. I'm pretty sure Shaw's written more benchmarks, but as the README explains, it's really hard to tell what the performance characteristics of a language are without writing a larger application. So far the largest applications written with MiniVM is Paka[0], a self-hosted language similar to Lua that targets MiniVM; os49[1], an operating system built on Paka/MiniVM in the spirit of lisp machines; and xori[2], an online playground for the language.

Some similar languages from this community: my Paka (even down to the println), and someone else's Cthulhu.
