And you've done this? I think not since you used the adjective 'easily'.

That's what I did for my script engine. It's a breeze. They have tools to do that since the 70's.

You sure have a strange name Aptyp. Translated from swedish to english it means Apetype. Just wanted highlight that.

Not the first one to point it out :)
Actually, it's a lame-ass attempt to type my name in latin charset w/o looking like a l33tist.
Back to the topic. I'm not defending assembly-like languages, I'm just trying to say that if you don't like them, you have a choice to build on top of them.

In some cases, yes.
I was doing that in one of my earlier attempts on building a full script -> vm-asm -> vm-bytecode thing plus interpreter, and although I failed to finish it (because I wanted to do everything myself), it was quite possible.
The problem is that when people are making an asm like script, instead of making it an intermediate syntax between the script and the bytecode or the script and the interpreter, they make things easier in the asm-code. They use special syntax and/or lots of build in commands that should be callbacks, which makes it very hard to build on top of.
In conclusion to my failed project, I decided never to build an intermediate language again, as it's all in all less work to compile directly to byte code than over vm-asm. It's more effecient too...
