A 200-Lines-of-C VM

Source: https://100r.co/site/uxn.html

Everyone has got an opinion nowadays. Nevertheless there are not enough opinionated people. The creators of uxn seem to be the epitome of opinion. They realized, that we have a fundamental problem with complexity, maintainability, efficiency and use of resources, especially energy.

There seems to be a growing movement towards simplicity and uxn is definitely a role model here. The 100r.co team rebuilt a number of their own tools on top of their VM, after porting & abandoning them on Electron. As a result they got a number of programs, which can be executed on new platforms and architectures just by porting that beautiful lightweight VM.

Sounds like what WASM should be, but better.
