hi Stefan!
It's very nice to see your passion, and I'm dealing with an naive
AOT-compiler for Christmas hack.
I think it has to be 'naive' before our RegisterVM come to a stage to
be hacked from.
I'll do it after the colored-REPL is done.

This mail is nothing but an encouragment between us, and other guys
who's interested in. ;-)
I'll come soon, you're not alone.
