[erlang-questions] Erlang VM Documentation

[Tony Rogvall]

I started a small beam project a couple of years ago.
The aim was to document and give semantics to beam instruction using Erlang.

You can find it here:

git://github.com/tonyrog/beam.git

using beam_emu:run(Mod, Func, Args)  you can even run simple beam code,
it is complete and may never be, but can serve as inspiration?

"Installing applications can lead to corruption over time. Applications gradually write over each other's libraries, partial upgrades occur, user and system errors happen, and minute changes may be unnoticeable and difficult to fix"
