As long as we're talking about Virtual Machines, I thought I'd post the original specs for the Smalltalk VM as described in the bluebook by Goldberg & Robson. Worth a read for anyone interested in the internal workings of Virtual Machines.
There have been a few efforts to port Smalltalk for the JVM with limited success. There's also a planned Smalltalk for the .Net VM by one of the ST vendors. I've heard one of the biggest problems in porting ST is the way the JVM handles the stack causing grief with the unwind sequence (not to mention code blocks).
