I did a quick search for "smallest C virtual machine" and found this 16 opcode implementation in 125 lines of C:

I'm looking for small VMs like this to run sandboxed experiments and test just-in-time (JIT) compilers so that I can explore things like converting abstract syntax trees (AST) between languages and prefix/infix/postfix notation, if anyone has any favorites.

Bonus points for supporting advanced concepts like atomic operations for concurrency.

I just want to drop a note that the style / layout etc. of this is really doing it for me.

Reminds me of the web layout of https://craftinginterpreters.com/a-virtual-machine.html
