Looks a lot like RIDE – execution model is copy based – very much like the original old BSCAL /MetaWrap VM. They even have the factorial demo. I’m very impressd with it – it looks much nicer than anything I have made so far in this area.

Something to aspire to.

[UPDATE]

For anyone who is interested – I have uploaded the original (rewitten) BSCAL interpreter compiler into http://cvs.metawrap.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/metawrap/vm/BSCAL/ . A garbage collecting non strict lazy functional language from 1986.
