I'm intending to develop and implement a language for cellular
automata as my master's thesis. I'd like to know more about
what sort of executable intermediate languages have been used for
other projects. For instance, both GNU Emacs and Perl can
'compile' the source language into a fast 'p-code' representation,
but neither does so into code which is machine native.


I'm looking for info or references on what these 'p-code languages'
look like and how they work. Anyone care to enlighten me?
