I don't know if it has been mentioned, but vmgen is a toolkit to
generates efficient virtual machines from high-level descriptions of
the different bytecode operations. It is used to create gforth (GNU's

The Mono website (http://www.go-mono.com/runtime.html) also mentions
the following links:

    * On compilation of stack-based languages:

    * A paper on fast JIT compilation of a stack-based language:
