More interesting idea than "yet another VM", here's an idea (inspirations:
the new Amiga's "Elate"OS, and Perl)
Build what is not a VM, but actually a universal compiler backend. The
input is not pseudo-machine-code, but a language independent parse tree
preserving full debugging semantics etc.
The VM can compile it, interpret it, JIT it, whatever. It can also move
slices of it to other machines or other processors transparently, or
migrate it off an about-to-be swapped CPU onto another one without losing
a beat. On each CPU it can optimize for the specific processor.
Looks like a good idea to me, anyhow.
