Don't forget Smalltalk-80. A reasonable description of the byte-code
interpreter can be found in "Smalltalk-80, the language and its
implementation" by Adele Goldberg. Several later versions of
Smalltalk abandon ( or at least modify )the byte code approach for
performance reasons. OOPSLA is probably a good place to look for info
on Smalltalk optimization.

[The book "Smalltalk 80: Bits of History, Words of Advice" by Krasner et al.
discusses the history of the Smalltalk 80 implementation and has several
papers on the evolution of the interpreter. -John]
