It will be interesting to see whether the particular semantics of Lua fits
other languages. Please report any results here.

>Is there a specification for the VM I can read, even an old one?

All there is are the comments in lopcodes.h . The Lua VM is a tool to implement
Lua, not a general purpose VM.

>Or, am I stuck reading code?  Thanks.

Yes, you need to read lvm.c to see the details of semantics.
