So you wanted to build a JVM

as in why not???

actually: System.out.println("Hello World") would be a major achievement. It's nowhere near that level...

so far

• starts a main class (TODO cmdline args)
• loads classes from a classpath, including jar/jmod files
• instantiates classes (TODO implement superclass instantiation)
• runs bytecode (TODO more opcodes)
• has INVOKEVIRTUAL and INVOKESPECIAL, including stackframes (TODO more invokes)
• has a heap

more TODO's

• native methods
• stacktraces
• check visibility
• IO
• garbage collection

Ultimate goal

• Hello world domination
